Hot Happenings
The Town of Gaspé is located at the Eastern tip of the Gaspé Peninsula, 650 kilometers from Quebec City and 350 kilometers from Rimouski in the Lower St. Lawrence . With some 150 kilometers of shoreline open to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Gaspé is definitely one of the most maritime cities in Quebec.
Gaspé is right in the middle of Nature. Daily life is shaped by this special geographical context.
The town is proud to have a magnificent stretch of water in Gaspé Bay , which is considered to be the second largest natural bay in the world, surrounded by three of the most beautiful salmon rivers in Quebec , numerous lakes, as well as Forillon National Park , plus many beaches along the shore. Gaspé is thus the ideal place for sport fishing, water sports, and holidaying.
As for recreation, hiking and mountain bike trails, tennis courts, fishing &
watersports abound or just find a sunny spot on the beach!
Check out the following website for more information on the region:
The FireFit Clothing Zone will be in full swing with new designs for
those who wish to purchase a FireFit Championships Souvenir!
