Set within one of Québec’s most scenic provincial parks, the beach at Parc national d’Oka offers natural beauty and a peaceful, family-friendly vibe. Just under an hour from Montréal, it’s a spot where wetlands, forest, and lake meet, with a long stretch of sand and calm waters supervised by lifeguards. Visitors can hike up to the historic Calvaire trail for sweeping views of Lac des Deux Montagnes, then return to picnic under shady trees or grill on the provided charcoal barbecues. Parking passes and park entry fees apply, and pets aren’t allowed on the beach—but the serene setting, gentle waters, and nature more than make up for it.
