As soon as you enter the majestic bridge that overlooks the island, you are greeted by a coastal fisherman’s wharf.

Miscou Island is of exceptional beauty and is distinguished by its dense vegetation of dwarf conifers and peat bogs. Its spectacular shores and beaches are sure to win you over. At the very end of the road, on the northern tip of the island, its historic 23-metre lighthouse faces Chaleur Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence to its right.

In the fall, you will see huge bogs that become a scarlet carpet on the tip of the island.

Did you know that the island was used as an emergency landing site during an attempted non-stop flight from Moscow to New York in April 1939?
