<\/a><\/p>\nTo enjoy a day in the cool air this summer, to float in the waters of the beautiful Lac des Deux Montagnes, and to connect with nature under the Quebec summer sun, we\u2019re heading to Bois-de-l\u2019\u00cele-Bizard Beach this summer.<\/p>\n
The nearly untouched beach is part of the Bois-de-l\u2019\u00cele-Bizard Nature Park, which is about a 45-minute drive from downtown Montreal or a 1 hour and 45-minute trip by public transit via the REM to Fairview-Pointe-Claire and bus 207 to the \u00c9glise\/Chevremont stop.<\/p>\n
You can have a picnic, go kayaking, bike, and take a stroll there. The nature park covers 216 hectares and features a wooded area, a large marsh, and plenty of spots for birdwatching and taking in the scenery\u2014all with the pleasant scent of tall grasses warmed by the sun.<\/p>\n

Bois-de-l\u2019\u00cele-Bizard Beach via TripAdvisor<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a beach for lounging in the shade, not really for sunbathing or swimming the breaststroke. It\u2019s for birdwatching, dipping your toes in the water, and breathing in the lake air.<\/p>\n
The water isn\u2019t very deep, and the shores retain their natural beauty\u2014the ecosystem is thriving in the summer , and it\u2019s one of the prettiest spots to introduce friends visiting from abroad, French travelers on a Working Holiday Visa, or kids who can touch the bottom to the cool waters of Quebec\u2019s lakes.<\/p>\n
