context_page_description: Cap-à-l'Aigle is an area located in the east end of La Malbaie, in Charlevoix-Est Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, Quebec, Canada. Formerly constituted as a municipality, this territory was merged with the city of La Malbaie on December 1, 1999. This area has a mountain village on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.
  The local economy is focused on accommodation for tourists and travelers, the resort, crafts, mountain side agriculture and forestry, and other services.

Sailors frequent the marina all summer because it is well located between Tadoussac and Baie-Saint-Paul. Annually, during the Labor Day weekend, the Cap-à-l'Aigle Marina closes the sailing season in Quebec with a major nautical event. Every weekend before Labor Day, sailing events are held in Quebec including the Triangle Race, the Crescent-Price Cup and the Edmond Desgagnés Challenge.
  Since about 2004, the Cap-à-l'Aigle federal wharf was unused, being heavily damaged by the wear and tear of the St. Lawrence River. Pedestrians and osmerus fishermen had partial accessibility to this wharf, which partially serves as a breakwater at the nearby marina. In the summer of 2014, rockfill work on the Petit Quai de Cap-à-l'Aigle aimed to preserve the structure of the wharf, but condemned it for the boarding of ships. Located just five kilometers upstream on the river, Pointe-au-Pic wharf offers better deep-water mooring characteristics for cruise ships and merchant vessels. In 2013, the federal government transferred its rights to the Charlevoix Transportation Infrastructure Management Corporation (SOGIT), which owns the Cap-à-l'Aigle and Pointe-au-Pic docks.
