The quest

Plage Martin faces the last light south-west of centre, Montreal. The quest is standing still until three lights stay on after the sun.

Steps

  1. Arrive at Plage Martin twenty minutes before sunset. Stay on public ground — not a bike lane, not a road deck.
  2. Watch until the disk is gone. Name three lights that stay on.
  3. Leave the way you came. Do not climb railings or cut through private docks.

Why this is on the board

Plage Martin is one of the spots south-west of centre, Montreal where Montreal actually faces the sky. You get the last colour of the day and a few minutes of standing still a patio will not sell you.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
