The quest
Skip the seawall loop. Sit or walk Plage du Lac John until you can point at five hulls, birds, logs, or buildings without checking your phone.
Steps
- Stay on the public beach at Plage du Lac John. No private docks.
- Walk Plage du Lac John'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
Quebec City was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Plage du Lac John (north-east of centre, Quebec City) 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.
