Saint-Augustine

Population: 791

Saint-Augustine is unique in the fact that across the river that bears the same name there is a native AmerIndian reserve.

Saint-Augustine is situated at the mouth of an impressive fjord several kilometers inland from several island littered archipelagos. Boat tours are available from the wharf at trout point to the islands and to the village.

While there you can listen to CJAS FM, the local radio station which plays traditional and local music.
