I travelled to Europe and your special edition
on Paris was very useful. I save a lot of money
and had many ideas of places to visit. Thank
you Travelling Magazine! Julia Ontario, Can.
Travelling Magazine I am a member of your magazine since 2006 and I
really enjoy my readings. I didn’t travel yet because I
didn’t have the opportunity but I will certainly use
your tips when I will.
Tom, Québec, Can.
I read your tips about travelling but
unfortunately, I read it after my travel to
Florida. I did have trouble that I wouldn’t have
had if I had read your magazine before. From
now on, I will always read your magazine on
future destinations I will visit. Mary, Vancouver, Can.
I would like if you could write a magazine
about Egypt because I plan to go there
in 2014. I like your magazine and the
suggestions you make of places to visit and I
would like to get some for Egypt. I’m looking
foward to reading your magazine about Egypt
(I hope you can do it before 2014). Thank you
Travelling Magazine! Rick, Nova Scotia, Can.
We always try our best to please you and we
are otivated to continue when reading your
comments. It also gives us ideas of topics and
what to improve and we thank you for that.

It’s the ideal place for sunbathers all year long, and for body boarders and surfers during winter and summer, the ideal time to practice their sports.
There are no lifeguards except during busy weekends. Be careful when going in the water and even on the beach as there may be rocks pieces.
It is also a nice spot to do a picnic with your family and friends.
