A veritable window on the St. Lawrence River, the Clock Tower Beach offers stunning views of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, Île Sainte-Hélène, Old Montréal, and the city skyline. Although swimming in the river is not possible, visitors can indulge in pleasant sunbathing with all the beach essentials, including umbrellas, sprayers, showers, a boardwalk, a refreshment stand, and, of course, heaps of soft and silky sand.
