La Martre rewards everyday life with ocean light, mountain horizons, and the steady sweep of a classic red beacon. The wooden La Martre Lighthouse, a working 1906 landmark, anchors the shoreline and hosts a small museum for coastal history lovers. Outdoor time ranges from cobble-beach strolls and photography to big-sky adventures in Parc national de la Gaspésie, managed by SEPAQ, where caribou country and the Chic-Chocs invite hiking, fishing, and winter touring. Families and curious minds gravitate to the hands-on marine science at Exploramer in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, while road-trippers trace Route 132’s head-turning curves to Mont-Saint-Pierre for paragliding vistas.
Day trips are easy: culture and regional archives await at Musée de la Gaspésie in Gaspé, and the cliffs and seabird colonies of Parks Canada’s Forillon National Park add a memorable coastal hike. Planning excursions and seasonal events is straightforward with Tourisme Gaspésie’s official resources, and the famed rock at Percé sits within reach for a weekend escape.
Schooling supports a variety of needs. Francophone families are served locally through the public network, with elementary and secondary options in nearby Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, while English-language education is provided regionally by the Eastern Shores School Board. Everyday essentials come via small businesses and services along Route 132, with larger grocery, health, and recreation amenities a short drive away.
