This urban riverside beach keeps it simple. Verdun Beach offers a surprisingly calm slice of the St. Lawrence riverfront with buoy-marked water and grassy areas for lounging. The swimming area is shielded by a rock jetty, making the water gentle and inviting, though strong currents outside the marked zone mean sticking to the safe area is non-negotiable. Plus, the beach is fully stroller- and wheelchair-friendly and just steps from De l’Église metro. Locals love it for its accessibility and neighbourhood charm: an easy, low-fuss option for an impromptu swim on a hot day.
