La Malbaie literally translates as bad bay and this name was derived from the low tide here which often leaves moored boats and other vessels stranded on exposed banks of sand and mud. French architecture prevails with a lovely European village-like atmosphere replete with spired cathedral. La Malbaie hotels are generally low rise and boutique style outfits that face the lake or alternatively offer cosy views of the cobbled streets and lanes of the town itself. La Malbaie is particularly beautiful during the autumn when the enclosing woodlands and forests turn glimmering shades of gold and orange. Hotels in La Malbaie are busy at all times of the year though outdoor activities on the lake reach a peak in the summer months. La Malbaie hotels often have their own lake activity equipment including skis, boats and pedal machines ad these can be booked and rented at the hotel front desk.
