About an hour from Montreal, this turquoise-water beach on Lac Saint-François offers free beach access, supervised swimming during opening hours, and a snack shack. While there isn’t much of a sandy “beach” area, a park with picnic tables offers space to relax, and water quality is carefully monitored. Saint-Anicet Beach is perfect for swimming, picnicking, and catching some sun.
