Parc de la Pointe





Wonderful Piece Of Gem Along The St. Lawrence This is a belated review but here it goes. Came with my family twice from Ottawa (once during a bus tour in 2017 and again during our Gaspe-Maritimes road trip in Aug 2019). The latter we wanted to spend more time at the park. Tourist Info Centre was great, served in English actually. The picnic tables were actually quite clean which had an awesome view of the St. Lawrence. The sidewalk, garden, and overall ambience was pleasant with ample parking. I really had fond memories. On our 1st time while some members of the tour decided to join the whale-watching, rest of us came all the way here by foot. Nice houses along La Pointe. I'll consider coming back for a visit maybe in 2022 or 2023. Merci.
Lovely shoreline where you can enjoy a stroll on the paved walkway with benches and picnic tables or enjoy the sand and water. You can see little critters (krill etc) and small birds. I also heard you can sometimes see sting rays and even whales in the water! I suggest walking along the sand to admire the beautiful tectonic plate formations coming out of the ground! There were lots of people relaxing on the benches, some playing some relaxing instruments. There’s a bike path along with the walking trails and some swing benches as well. I also saw a house that looked like it is a restaurant or cafe. There’s good parking area across and more further down on the side of the road.
Very nice park, a must see when the tide is high or low. We walked the beached looking for rocks and interesting items left behind by the tides. We found a stingray (or a skate maybe?) in a tide pool during. None of my family who are locals knew that they had stingrays. Who knew!
Beautiful place with amazing views of St. Lawrence River , benches and playground. There is a problem with restrooms, which are NOT accessible for those who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters. There is a 4-5 inches curb in front of restrooms' entrances!
An amazing little park with great places to walk, ride or drive. Play place for the kids and when the tide is low it's awesome to walk on the rocks & such. The views are amazing!
