Montréal Sights

  1. Parc Nature du Cap St-Jacques

    Arguably the most diverse of Montréal's nature parks, Cap St-Jacques has a huge beach, 27km of trails for hiking and skiing, a farm and even a summer camp. The maple and mixed deciduous forest in the interior is a great patch for a ramble, and in spring a horse-drawn carriage brings visitors to a sugar shack to watch the maple sap boil.

  2. Plage Des Îles

    On warm summer days this artificial sandy beach can accommodate up to 5000 sunning and splashing souls. It's safe, clean and ideal for kids; picnic facilities and snack bars serving beer are also on-site. Volleyball competitions at the 2006 World Outgames were held here and there are still several professional-standard volleyball courts left over for anyone to use.
