Why go
Walk the outer peninsula for its meeting of forest and exposed coast, then visit Grande-Grave to understand the families who fished and lived here. The park's creation in 1970 involved the expropriation of residents; an official parliamentary apology later acknowledged how they were treated. Those layers make the preserved village sites especially meaningful.
What to look for
- Sea cliffs and shoreline mark the end of the Gaspé Peninsula.
- Grande-Grave preserves the history of local fishing families.
- The Hyman Store stands among the area’s historic buildings.
Useful to know
- Pair a coastal walk with Grande-Grave rather than treating the heritage area as a quick photo stop.
- Check current access to interpretation sites before building your day around them.
