Berthier-Sur-Mer: Beach, River Park and Marina

Berthier-Sur-Mer offers several points of interest to help you plan your trip: a long sandy beach, the Parc fluvial on the St. Lawrence River, and activities around the marina. There are also views of the offshore islands and a distinctive church tower in the landscape. Which of these aspects interests you most can help you decide whether the destination is right for your stay.

Beach and Shoreline

Berthier-Sur-Mer’s beach stretches for more than a kilometer and is sandy. This makes the beach a natural focus if you want to spend time by the water. The Parc fluvial is also located on the shore of the St. Lawrence River. It is a place to spend time, have a picnic, and enjoy the outdoors.

The Parc fluvial is known for its exceptional panorama and impressive sunsets. Along the waterfront promenade, information panels help you identify the many offshore islands of the L'Isle-aux-Grues archipelago. A visit to the waterfront therefore combines scenic views with a chance to get your bearings in the landscape, without requiring you to follow a specific excursion itinerary.

Swimming and Water Sports

At the Parc fluvial, a small beach area allows you to swim and enjoy several water sports, including windsurfing, kitesurfing, and kayaking. If you are interested in water activities, Berthier-Sur-Mer offers more than simply spending time on the sandy beach.

Seasonal leisure activities at the beach also include canoeing and light sailing. These activities depend on the beach and the season, so plan for them as seasonal options.

Orange SUP offers seasonal introductions to stand-up paddleboarding and SUP yoga at the beach. Offerings may vary by season. Before your trip, check the current dates and what will be available during your stay.

Marina and Practical Planning

The ticket office and the pier are located at the marina at 110, chemin de la Marina. This is the departure point for all cruises leaving from Berthier-Sur-Mer. Cruise operations are seasonal and may change; check the schedule in advance if you are planning a trip.

There is a large free parking lot at the marina. Parking rules may change, so it is best to check the latest information before your visit. Free parking is also available at the beach for residents and visitors. Be sure to check the current local rules for this parking option as well.

The Le Havre Marina has 65 seasonal members and allows visiting boaters to moor their boats. Membership numbers and operating rules may change. If you plan to arrive by boat, check the current conditions in advance.

A Distinctive Landmark

The tall bell tower of the Église de Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption is an important landmark in the landscape of Berthier-Sur-Mer. Along with the waterfront promenade and its views of the archipelago, it offers another point of reference as you get to know the town and its different visitor highlights.

For a beach- and water-sports-focused trip, the sandy beach, swimming, and seasonal activities are the main attractions. If you are planning to spend time by the shore, the Parc fluvial offers picnicking, outdoor relaxation, panoramic views, and sunsets. A cruise is another seasonal highlight. When looking for a hotel, you can use these differences to decide whether Berthier-Sur-Mer is right for your trip, and compare details of the available options with your own needs.
