Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé rewards residents with horizon-wide sea views, a working harbour, and the easy rhythm of Route 132 life. In the Le Rocher-Percé region, it sits minutes from the sea arch off Percé and the famed gannet colony at Parc national de l’Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, showcased by Sépaq on its official site (https://www.sepaq.com/pq/bon/). The community’s fishing heritage runs deep; snow crab and lobster seasons set the calendar and supply local processors, while sunsets over the wharf make effortless evening rituals. Weekends invite coastal hikes, paddling, and scenic drives to artisan studios and cafés in Grande-Rivière and Chandler. For bigger-day adventures, Forillon National Park’s cliffs and coves await just up the coast (https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/forillon).
Families are supported by public schools within the Centre de services scolaire René‑Lévesque (https://www.cssrl.gouv.qc.ca), and English-language options through the Eastern Shores School Board (https://www.essb.qc.ca) in nearby Gaspé and Chandler. Pathways into the region’s blue economy are strong, led by the École des pêches et de l’aquaculture du Québec in Grande‑Rivière (https://www.epaq.qc.ca), which trains mariners, processors, and aquaculture specialists.
Year-round experiences—from whale watching to snowmobile loops—are easy to plan with Tourisme Gaspésie (https://www.tourisme-gaspesie.com). Add practical amenities, low-traffic streets, and neighbours who still wave from the dock, and you get a coastal lifestyle that balances quiet with access to marquee attractions.
