Saint-Augustin

Saint-Augustin, known locally as St. Augustine, is one of the biggest villages on the Lower North Shore.

The spectacular sandbanks of the Saint Augustin River there are a particularly impressive sight. Across the river mouth from the village is the Innu community of Pakua Shipi.

Saint-Augustin and Pakua Shipi are isolated communities and they are both located inland, away from the tangled islands along the gulf, and at 60 kilometres from the closest village
