Vauquelin Point

Vauquelin Point is a low, wooded headland on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay, with the Vauquelin River entering the sea just to its east. Wide tidal flats border this coast, and small islands and shoals lie offshore. Farther north, the Great Whale River reaches the bay through an estuary visited by beluga whales in summer. Cree hunters used these coastal waters and river mouths for the seasonal hunt, travelling between the shore and inland country.
