This is your guide to the best things to do in the Magdalen Islands in the winter time. Before we're done, you're going to start planning your trip here because it's easier than you think!

1. Baby Harp Seal Observation

Every year, harp seals swim to this region of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to give birth to their pups on stable platforms of ice called ice floes.

There are a total of 6 lighthouses in the Magdalen Islands but only 3 are on the main connected islands.

2. Visit the Lighthouses

Come here Tuesday and Friday and you'll find their character-filled brewpub buzzing with conversation as local Madelinots gather and catch up.

3. Craft Beers At À l'Abri De La Tempête

4. Look For Red Foxes In The Snow

Indigenous to the island are only a few land mammals and one of them is the red fox.

5. Crafts From The Sea

It's more than just a workshop though. It's a gallery, boutique, science centre, and playground all wrapped in one.
