Borgot lighthouse is a beautiful sunset spot and one of the most popular on the islands. It sits at the edge of a cape, hovering over red-sandstone cliffs and overlooking the Gulf of St-Lawrence. The occasional seal can be spotted swimming to a nearby beach to rest after eating and it's great for bird-watching. Right beside the Borgot lighthouse is a cute little beach that almost seems hidden, but it's right to the left of the parking of the lighthouse. Obviously, it's free as there's no kiosk to enter the grounds of the lighthouse and no bathrooms. You pretty much just park and enjoy the view!

Delighted by my visit at the Musée de la Mer recently, outstanding museum that can be quick to visit, or you have the liberty to dive in for more information, it has a little bit for everybody. Divided in two main rooms : the first one holds all the answers to the islands’ history through the ages, really well made. Second room is for temporary exhibits. When I visited, it highlighted an artist who walks the beaches and either reconstruct animals with their bones, or creates original art with those bones. Very original stuff. Lastly, the hall between the two rooms holds the story of how they rescued the carcass of a whale that got stranded at Pointe-Aux-Loups, very well presented. Friendly bilingual staff, permission to take pictures everywhere for social media and clear instructions for COVID policies make this museum an essential if you visit Les Iles. Highly recommended.

This beautiful vista is an epic sunrise location! Located in Ile du Havre aux Maisons, the sun rises directly adjacent to the lighthouse and illuminates the skies with pinkish and orange tones. There's a beach below the lighthouse which is easily accessible by a set of stairs. The whole area is free to access and both the beach and lighthouse have respective parking areas. They're both free of charge but the view is definitely worth the visit! There's a wooden fence at the parking area of the lighthouse and it's not recommended to trespass as you're stepping onto private property - everybody does it, but, you've now been warned! A MUST visit! Highly suggest going for sunrise, you'll most probably be alone to soak it all up!
