This is not a beach scene. Nor is it a river. Nor is it a canal. This is an aqueduct built in the mid 1800's to carry drinking water from the St. Lawrence River into part of Montreal Island. Needless to say, the invention of, and a preference for, underground water pipes soon orphaned this installation. Still, it endures as part of the landscape, providing an occasional fish to the enterprising angler. And you thought only the Romans had ancient aqueducts.
