Last year we visited Tadoussac with the intent to watch whales from the shore, one of the handful of places in the world that allows such an opportunity.
Many years ago me and my wife had taken a boat tour to watch whales from Plymouth, MA. That was a great experience. We were fortunate to see several Humpback whales, including a mother and child. In Canada, Tadoussac is one of the places from where one can either take a boat tour or just go to some of the spots on shore like Pointe de l'Islet near the Tadoussac wharf.
The red circle denotes Tadoussac. It is a pretty small but very beautiful place.

There is a ferry ride to go to Tadoussac.
We crossed another ferry going the other way on our way to Tadoussac.
On our way to Pointe de l'Islet from where whales can be seen from the shore.
We waited for a little while before things started to happen. We saw several types of whales. Most of them pops up the water for a few seconds to breath and dips underwater again but one can still get a pretty good look at them. We saw several Minke whales and belugas.
