Iles de la Madeleine Hotels, Inns, Motels, Vacation Packages The Magdalen Islands (French, Îles de la Madeleine) is a little archipelago in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Even though it is much closer to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, the islands form part of the Canadian province of Quebec. There are eight major islands: Havre-Aubert, Grande Entrée, Cap aux Meules, Grosse Île, Havre aux Maisons, Île aux Loups, Île d'Entrée and Brion. All except the latter are inhabited. There are several other tiny islands which are also considered part of the archipelago: Rocher aux Oiseaux, Île aux Loups-marins, Île Paquet and Rocher du Corps Mort. Tourism is very popular in the Magdalen Islands, as in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The islands are particularly appealing to French-speaking Québécois, who can enjoy the ocean and speak their native language. The islands have many miles of white sand beaches, along with steadily eroding sandstone cliffs. It is an excellent destination for bicycle camping, sea kayaking, windsurfing and kitesurfing. During the winter months, beginning in mid-February, eco-tourists visit to observe new-born and young harp seal pups on the pack ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence surrounding the islands.
