Ile d’Anticosti, Quebec
The Ile d’Anticosti (“Ile” is “Island” in French) lies in the middle of the . . . well, on the east end of the island it’s the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and on the west end it’s the St. Lawrence River. Specifically, the Jacques Cartier Strait lies to the north of the island, and the Honguedo Strait is to the south (visible here). So I guess it’s surrounded by all sorts of bodies of water.
The point at the top of the picture is the Point du Sud-Ouest (Southwest Point). Down from there is a dent in the shoreline, which is a bay called Baie des Sables (Sandy Bay) and I come to find out that there’s another Great Salt Lake in the world, the second one being just behind a sandy spit in this small bay.
This is the same view in Google Earth.
