Jean-Doré Beach at Parc Jean-Drapeau is a Montreal summer classic. The massive swimming zone, daily-cleaned sand, and shady trees make it the perfect spot for splashing with kids, sunbathing solo, or playing volleyball with friends. The water is monitored, the sand is soft, and the energy stays low-key even on busy days. This is an easy, accessible option on Île Saint-Helene to spend a hot afternoon outdoors.
