Pointe-Saint-Pierre
A fishing village headland north of Percé, with distant views of Perce Rock and Bonaventure Island and the occasional whale spout offshore.
Pointe-Saint-Pierre is a small fishing village about 15 km north of Percé. The headland reaches into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and from here you can see Bonaventure Island and the other side of Perce Rock to the south. Minke and humpback whales often pass by in summer. The point has a small lighthouse, wooden houses and a quiet beach, and it is a convenient stop on the way to Gaspé and Forillon. It is free to visit, reached by turning off Route 132 onto a village road.
