Understand
The Innu community of Pakuashipi is located west of the municipality, on the west bank of the Saint-Augustin River and north of Cook Township.
The community of Saint-Augustin is mostly English-speaking. The village is established at the southern tip of a peninsula, near the mouth of the Saint-Augustin River which flows into the Bay of Saint-Augustin in the form of a delta. The archipelago of Saint-Augustin located at the end of the eponymous bay has several large magnificent islands to see on a boat trip, in particular: Forgeron Island, Juniper Island, Rigolet Island, Grande Passe Island, Bayfield Island...
This isolated municipality is 218 km from Kegaska (the terminus of Route 138) and 108 km from the village of Blanc-Sablon.
Get around
