Montreal might not have the majestic oceanfronts of Boston, nor the bohemian beach culture that defines Miami, but there's at least one place in southern Quebec where we can pretend it does. Plage Saint-Zotique, the riverside beach 50 minutes from downtown Montreal, is opening for the season its 41st on Saturday, June 17.
Picture this: you're on a private island adorned with a rustic beach house where the sounds of the waves hitting the shore and nature's soft breeze keep you company as you sip your morning coffee. Sounds pretty sweet right? Well, you can experience just that only a stone's throw away from Montreal.
Clock Tower Beach, the iconic summer chilling spot at the Old Port, is ending its season on September 5 You only have a few days left to relax barefoot in the white sand just five minutes from downtown.While swimming isn't allowed, the beach features blue lounge chairs, large parasols, a wooden boardwalk, misting stations, as well as fantastic views of the St. Lawrence River, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge and Île Sainte-Hélène.
