Cap-des-Rosiers

The Cap des Rosiers cobble beach offers a stunning view of the St. Lawrence, the Cap des Rosiers lighthouse and the cliffs of Cap Bon Ami.

A beautiful boardwalk built in 2018 is nearby and leads to the Irish Memorial, erected in memory of the shipwrecked passengers of Ireland's Carricks ship, which ran aground at Cap des Rosiers in 1847.

Cap-Bon-Ami

Cap Bon Ami is a must for Forillon visitors. You can take in a picturesque landscape from its cobble beach. Birding enthusiasts will also be delighted by the presence of the various marine birds that live in or visit Forillon.

Petit-Gaspé

The Petit-Gaspé cobble beach is located in the southern sector of Forillon National Park and offers a view of Gaspé Bay. It is the perfect place for a picnic after climbing Mont Saint Alban.
