Saint-Georges-de-Malbaie: South of this village, in Pointe-Saint-Pierre, you can admire a magnificent view of the tip of Forillon, on one side, and Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock, on the other. Near this point is Indian Head Rock. Legend has it that white men arrived from Europe on a tall ship, kidnapped a young Indigenous woman and took her back to their country far away. Since then, her heartbroken lover has awaited the return of his beloved with his back to the sea and his eyes gazing sorrowfully at the cliffs…
Coin-du-Banc: The marshes located between Barachois and Coin-du-Banc form the largest interior lagoon in Québec, a popular site for birdwatching. It is also in this sector (Bridgeville) that the Parc municipal de la Rivière Émeraude (Emerald River Municipal Park) is located as well as one of the starting points of the Rivières trail which stretches for 27 km to L'Anse-à-Beaufils. Coin-du-Banc beach is very popular with swimmers and for its shells.
