Cap Bon-Ami
Limestone sea cliffs and a pebble bay on the north shore of Forillon, where viewing platforms overlook towering cliffs and seal colonies.
Cap Bon-Ami is on the north shore of Forillon National Park. Limestone cliffs rise straight out of the sea, and beneath them lies a pebble bay. From the viewing platform and beach you can see seals basking in the sun and seabirds nesting, and whales are occasionally spotted in summer. It is also one of the starting points for the Mont-Saint-Alban trail, and you can climb the viewing tower for an overview of the coast. There is a car park, a picnic area and toilets. The site is within the national park's paid-access area.
