Montreal is an island, so make the most of it! Our selection of the finest beaches in and around Montreal ranges from expansive sandy stretches adorned with tiki-inspired huts to spots where you can catch some waves. We're talking about urban escapes, shores adjacent to parks, and family-friendly escapes that are consistently worthwhile (don't miss this hidden gem, a must-visit on your Montreal road trip itinerary). Remember to pack your preferred affordable meals, grab a beach chair, and, of course, don't forget the sunscreen.
Montreal is a playground for kids of all ages—especially during the winter. The city is full of attractions for young kids (and the young at heart), stellar free museums and excellent places to eat that are easy on the budget. Every borough has its own family-forward fun—not to mention the highest bungee jump in Canada—with easy access via public transportation (5 year-olds and under ride for free!).
