Gaspé peninsula is surrounded by waters of the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This easternmost part of province of Quebéc in Canada features magnificent coastal landscape with strikingly picturesque scenery. Small villages along the coast are inhabited by people who still relay mainly on the sea for their living. Gaspé Cape is a place where Monts Chic-Chocs (part of the Appalachian Mountains stretching 2400 km/ 1500 miles over across Eastern North America) reach its limit plunging into the sea. The peninsula is home of Forillon National Park. With forested mountains and cliff-lined shores, this park is realy worth to visit. However, the most famous of all is Percé Rock. This natural wonder impresses everyone by its beauty and attracts to walk at low tide.

The word Gaspé comes form Gaspeg in the language of Micmacs (Mi'kmaq) meaning 'the place where the land ends'. Micmac Indians known of their fishing skills inhabited the peninsula when the first European, Franchman Jacques Cartier arrived in 1534.
