Located at the mouth of the fjord, the Pointe-Noire Interpretation and Observation Centre is the ideal place to take a break, picnic and contemplate the spectacular view of the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park.
Take the footbridge along the coast and keep your eyes wide open! You may see beluga whales, minke whales, seals and seabirds.
This site is the first of three Parks Canada centres heading towards the North Shore.
Take the wooden footbridge and discover the history of Pointe-Noire. Thanks to the lighthouse keepers and their assistants, the leading lights and the foghorn made waterways safe for all navigators. As you visit the exhibition, find out why scientists settled in Pointe-Noire to study beluga whales.
With an interpretive guide, spot whales and discover what attracts them to the Saguenay−St. Lawrence Marine Park.
