Overview

Pigeon Hill is a kitesurfing spot located at the northeastern tip of Lamèque Island, in New Brunswick. This spot offers exceptional wind exposure thanks to its advanced position in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with a wide range of rideable wind directions. The body of water is coastal with tidal influences. Pigeon Hill's position allows riding with winds from northeast to northwest passing through south, offering great versatility. The bottom is sandy and the water warms up well in summer. The sailing season runs from June to September. This spot is suitable for intermediate riders due to offshore exposure and possible tidal currents.
