On the Havre-Aubert beach, you can attend the annual Concours annuel de Châteaux de sable or the concours de construction de petits bateaux. It’s also in this municipality that you can visit the Centre nautique de l’Istorlet, which offers all kinds of water activities such as sea kayak excursions in and around the caves and cliffs, boat excursions to observe lighthouses and sea mammals or snorkelling with seals.
The most important attraction in Havre-Aubert is without any doubt the Site Historique de La Grave, a small shingle beach where fisheries and commerce were once established.
