Plage Jean-Doré

Plage Jean-Doré is a sandy beach along the Saint Lawrence River in Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal. The beach has swimming areas, changing facilities, and rental equipment available for water sports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

The beach opened in 1990 as an effort to create public access to waterfront recreation in this part of the city. Its establishment was part of a broader plan to improve urban waterfront use.

The beach draws Montrealers on warm days to swim, sunbathe, and spend time together outdoors. For many locals, a visit here is part of the summer routine.

The beach is most busy during summer months and offers the best conditions for swimming and water sports. It is wise to arrive early to find a good spot and avoid crowds.

Aquazilla, a water play area with inflatable obstacles, lets visitors balance across floating platforms and try slides. This playful element makes the location particularly appealing to families with children.
