La Côte-de-Gaspé County pairs sweeping Gulf vistas with rugged mountains, creating a daily backdrop that feels both energizing and restorative. Anchored by the coastal hubs of Gaspé and Percé, and the highland community of Murdochville, residents enjoy an outdoor playground that’s truly world-class. Trails and beaches meet at Forillon’s cliffs, and wildlife is a regular part of the scenery at the dramatic headland of Forillon National Park. Just offshore, the vast seabird colony and iconic monolith at Bonaventure Island and Percé Rock invite day trips via boat, while Canada’s tallest lighthouse, the storied Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse, stands watch at the peninsula’s edge.
Families appreciate strong education options, from the Gaspé campus of Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles to English-language schools overseen by the Eastern Shores School Board. Healthcare is anchored by the CISSS de la Gaspésie, including services at Hôpital de Gaspé, offering peace of mind close to home. The area’s cultural rhythm includes festivals, artisanal markets, and the living heritage of the Mi’gmaq Nation of Gespeg, while salmon rivers, whale watching, and scenic drives on Route 132 add effortless weekend plans.
