The Pointe-Noire Interpretation and Observation Centre is ideal to observe belugas, minke whales, birds and seals. From this peak one gets an excellent perspective on the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park. Notice the colour of the water and the strength of tidal currents. Visit this site once inhabited by the families of the Lighthouse guard and his assistant. Find out even more through the exhibition and chat with the interpreter-guides.
Take the wooden footbridge and discover Pointe-Noire’s history. Thanks to the lighthouse keepers and their assistants, the leading lights and the foghorn made waterways safe for all mariners. As you visit the exhibition, find out why scientists settled in Pointe-Noire to observe the belugas.
With an interpretive guide, spot whales and discover what attracts them to the Saguenay−St. Lawrence Marine Park.
