Cap Gaspé Lighthouse (Land's End)
Phare de Cap-Gaspé
A lighthouse where the Appalachian Mountains meet the sea. A roughly 8-kilometre round-trip hike leads to the seaside cliffs of 'Land's End'.
Cap Gaspé is the easternmost point of the Forillon Peninsula and is known as 'Land's End', the terminus of the Appalachian Mountains. From a car park near Grande-Grave, the Land's End Trail runs about 8 km round trip, taking 2.5 to 3 hours. It follows the sea cliffs through forest, where seals and whale spouts are often spotted. At the end stands a small white lighthouse, with a viewing platform above the cliffs below. The trail is gently graded and suits most visitors. A Forillon National Park pass is required, and take care near the cliff edge.
