The quest
Spend an hour on the public sand or stones at Plage Jean-Doré (south-east of centre, Montreal). Leave with five shoreline things you could find again tomorrow.
Steps
- Stay on the public beach at Plage Jean-Doré. No private docks.
- Walk Plage Jean-Doré's waterline until you have a list of five shoreline things.
- Turn around. Lifeguard flags, if any, are the boss.
Why this is on the board
Montreal was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Plage Jean-Doré (south-east of centre, Montreal) is a named public edge: five things on the waterline, then you turn around.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
