About the Port
Baie-Comeau sits where the Manicouagan River meets the broad expanse of the Saint Lawrence, its shoreline framed by dense boreal forest and open sky. Founded as a paper-mill town, it has grown into a modest riverside community known for calm streets, seafood, and a laid-back maritime pace. It is also the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, a point of local pride noted on informational plaques around town.
The surrounding Côte-Nord region draws visitors for its rugged scenery and birdlife, with nearby trails and coastal lookouts offering some of the better birdwatching in Quebec. Waterfront paths near the pier make for an easy walk, giving arriving travelers a first taste of the wooded, wide-horizon landscape before venturing farther into the region. Local seafood, including lobster and other Gulf catches, features prominently on menus, reflecting the town's close relationship with the river and sea.
