L’Île d'Entrée est la seule île habitée de l'archipel québécois des Îles de la Madeleine qui n’est pas reliée par voie terrestre au reste de l'archipel. L'île est bornée par une succession de falaises aux couleurs et formes variées. Elle a en son centre un unique petit boisé. Les vaches et les chevaux paissent librement dans la prairie bordée de collines. On y retrouve comme seul prédateur le renard roux. Ses grandes falaises rouges, visibles depuis les îles centrales, abritent une grande quantité d'oiseaux nicheurs. Le point culminant de l'île d'Entrée, Big Hill (170 m), est également le plus haut sommet de l'archipel.
Entry Island (Île-d’Entrée in French) is an island off the east coast of the Magdalen Islands, which are part of the Canadian Province of Quebec. The island is 2 km wide and 3 km long. The island is located 12 km from the main port of Cap-aux-Meules of the Magdalen Islands. Entry Island is only accessible by the sea. Fishing is the main industry of the island with the lobster fishery being the most important, but some fishermen also harvest crab, scallops, whelk, mackerel, tuna and herring.
Visible as the first island when travelling by ferry from the Magdalen Islands, Entry Island can be identified by its lavishly tinted cliffs, the highest of which rises a sheer 559 feet (170.4 m) from the sea, and is the highest point of land in the archipelago. Fewer than 130 residents of Scottish and English origin inhabit this unique island. The island has two stores, a restaurant, an Anglican church, school, CLSC, museum, and post office; a Bed and Breakfast operates during the tourist season. (Wikipédia)
