The Pointe-Noire Interpretation and Observation Centre is ideal to observe whales, such as beluga and minke whales. 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.

With an interpretive guide, spot whales and discover what attracts them to the Saguenay−St. Lawrence Marine Park.
