Planning a coastal Québec road trip

With thousands of kilometres of beautiful coastline, Québec has a lot to offer when it comes to scenic and adventurous road trips.

Indeed, you could easily travel and explore along Québec’s coastline for weeks (and we have).

Read on for a day by day trip planning guide, including what to do in each location and accommodation suggestions.

The latter is based on our own experience as well as online research and personal recommendations.

Day 1 – Montreal to Québec City (255km)

Quite simply, Québec City is like nowhere else in Canada. This is likely because it is one of the oldest cities in Canada and is also the only walled city in North America.

The historical vibe and architecture of Vieux Québec (Old Québec) will make you feel like you’ve been transported to Europe.

Drive straight to Québec City from Montreal to make the most of your time in this historic place.

Things to do in Québec City

Simply wandering around Quebec’s Old Town is the best part of any visit to Quebec. Here are my recommendations for places to visit and things to do in Québec City:

  • Explore the lobby of the ever impressive Chateau Frontenac or take a one hour tour to see more
  • Take the ferry to Lévis across the water for the best views of Quebec City
  • Walk along the 200 year old wooden Dufferin Terrasse next to the Chateau and take the steps up to the the Plains of Abraham
  • Explore the Citadelle de Québec, the largest British built fortress in North America
  • Take a historical tour to learn more about the people and context of Vieux Québec
  • Get the highest view of Quebec City at the Observatoire de la Capitale
  • Take the stairs or funicular down to the Petit Champlain area below the Chateau Frontenac
  • Go on a free guided tour of Quebec’s regal Parliament Buildings
  • View the stunning architectural and opulence of the 350+ year old Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral
  • Taste and browse local produce at the Old Port Market

Where to stay in Québec City

Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac – Quebec City’s iconic castle-like hotel is one of the most photographed in the world

Hotel Terrasse Dufferin (we stayed here) – Just across the street from the Frontenac, this hotel has similar views and location for a more affordable price

Hotel Manoir Morgan – Highly rated hotel located in the historic old town. Some rooms have views of the Chateau Frontenac

Day 2 – Québec City

Take an extra day to explore more of beautiful Quebec City. For a beyond the beaten path experience, consider taking a trip to one of Quebec’s vibrant outer neighbourhoods.

A food tour is a great way to explore hip and culturally diverse Saint Roch district, not far from Old Quebec. My highlight was definitely the mouthwatering Fromagerie des Grondines cheese Shop.

Day 3 – Québec City to Tadoussac (214km)

After a two night city break in Québec City, it is time to head out into the more wilder areas of Québec. First stop is Tadoussac, one of the best places in the world for whale watching.

Sitting at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence and Saguenay rivers, the waters surrounding this tiny town are visited by as many as 13 different whale species. One of the most common whales to see is the majestic beluga. 

On the way to Tadoussac, take the time to stop at the powerful Montmorency Falls, just fifteen kilometres north of Quebec City.

Things to do in Tadoussac

Day 4 – Tadoussac to Saguenay (126km)

Flowing from Lac Saint Jean, the Saguenay river becomes a magnificent fjord reaching depths of 300m or more.

Carved by glaciers, the fjord cliffs are as high as the water below is deep. With such unique biodiversity, Saguenay is an essential stop on any Quebec road trip.

Fill your day with activities from the Day 4 list or consider these additional ideas –

  • Check out the Musée du Fjord and discover what lies beneath the ocean’s surface
  • Go white water rafting on the Shipshaw, Métabetchouane and Mistassibi rivers 
  • Hike the peaks of Parc national des Monts Valin

Limited to a five day coastal Quebec road trip? This would be the time to head back to Montreal (5 hours, 460km).

Day 6 – Saguenay to Matane (390km)

Returning to the Saint Lawrence from Saguenay, make a quick stop at the scenic Cap de Bon-Désir Interpretation and Observation Centre. After (hopefully) spotting some whales, take the ferry from Les Escoumins to Trois-Pistoles.

  • Pointe-au-Père in Rimouski, home of one of Canada’s tallest lighthouses and the impressive HMCS Onondaga submarine (you can go inside!)

Day 7 – Matane to Gaspésie National Park (125km)

Follow the coast to the pretty town of Sainte-Anne-Des-Monts before turning inland and gaining elevation to reach Parc national de la Gaspésie (Gaspésie National Park).

Offering a chance to explore the ‘spine’ of the Gaspé Peninsula, this park has fabulous alpine hiking opportunities.

Hiking is by far the most popular activity in Gaspésie National Park. Here are some trails to try:

  • La Chute-Saint-Anne and Belvédère de la Lucarne (3km loop) – Two easy trails featuring impressive waterfall and an observation tower
  • Mont Albert trail (17km loop) – Difficult trail leading to to a huge summit plateau
  • Mont Jacques Cartier (8.3km) – Rocky trail up tallest mountain in Southern Quebec (1268m) with chances to see rare caribou herd. Note that all hikers must take a bus to the trailhead

Parc National de la Gaspésie has five vehicle accessible campgrounds. Camping spots can be reserved on the Sépaq website. We stayed at Lac Cascapédia, a quiet campground on the shores of the lake.

The coastal town of Sainte-Anne-Des-Monts is a thirty minute drive to the core area of Gaspésie National Park. There are plenty of accommodation providers here. 

Hôtel & cie (we stayed here) – Centrally located renovated motel with surprisingly stylish interiors and on-site restaurant. Breakfast is included and delivered right to your room!

A full day to explore the valleys, mountains and trails of Gaspésie National Park. For a change of scenery in the evening, consider staying in Sainte-Anne-Des-Monts overnight instead.

Day 9 – Gaspésie National Park to Gaspé (210km)

The drive from Gaspésie National Park winds along the coast, passing dozens of small fishing villages, lighthouses and imposing Catholic churches.

Take the journey slowly, pausing to stop on windswept beaches, roadside waterfalls and to admire the breathtaking coastal views.

Day 10 – Gaspé

Forillon National Park is a 30 minute drive from Gaspé and is an ideal place to spend a full day.

This park has a real end-of-the-world feel about it and has a mix of majestic mountains, steep cliffs, pebbly beaches and meadows.

  • Beach fun and swimming at Penouille sand spit
  • Wildlife watching – in one day, we saw one moose, six porcupines, eight black bears (including cubs) and a lynx

We saw so much wildlife in Forillon National Park, such as this family of black bears

Day 11 – Gaspé to Percé (62km)

The distance between Gaspé and Percé is short but with both towns being distinctively different, it is worth spending significant time in each.

The short drive also means it is possible to fit more activities and adventure into your day! 

Percé is best known for Percé Rock, a huge formation jutting out from the St Lawrence River. It is a striking sight but not the only reason to spend time in this area.

Things to do in Percé

  • Walk the waterfront promenade and discover local studios, boutiques and cafes

  • Go sea kayaking and admire Percé Rock from a smaller boat

Day 12 – Percé to Carleton-sur-mer (195km)

A long time vacation town, Carleton-sur-mer is a quiet and relaxing place to spend your final night on the Gaspé Peninsula.

There is plenty to do on the approach from Percé as well as around Carleton-sur-mer’s oceanfront location.

Day 13 – Carleton-sur-mer to Kamouraska (415km)

The pretty village of Kamouraska in the Bas-Saint-Lawrence region is an ideal overnight stop to break up the long journey from the Gaspé Peninsula back to Montreal. 

There are two ways to reach Kamouraska from Carleton-sur-mer. The distance and time of both routes is approximately the same. 

If you do have extra time, I would suggest taking Highway 17 / Highway 2. Mount Carleton Provincial Park, home of the highest mountains in the Maritimes, is a relatively small detour.

Need to know tips and advice for Québec road trips

  • The official language in Quebec is French. When travelling outside of the tourist centres of Montreal, Québec City, Tadoussac and Saguenay, it is more likely you will meet Quebecois who have limited English (if not, none)
  • Brushing up on some French before you go on your Québec road trip is a good idea. Getting comfortable with the basics can go a long way – hello (bonjour), thank you (merci), please (s’il vous plait), I would like (je voudrais)
  • Road signs in Québec are in French. Look for ‘centre-ville’ for directions to downtown areas. ‘Sortie’ is exit, and ‘ouest’ west
  • It is illegal to turn right on red in Montreal. In other areas of Québec, turning right on red is legal unless specifically prohibited by a sign at the junction
  • Slow down – life in coastal Québec is, by nature, slow. Summer is the busiest time but this still doesn’t mean you need to rush around and drive at high speeds. 
  • Provincial Parks are referred to as national parks within Québec. So be careful not to get confused between Quebec’s provincial park system (Sépaq) and the Canadian national park system (Parks Canada)

Essential items for any coastal Québec road trip

  • Be sure to bring a couple of warm layers on your coastal Québec road trip. Even in the summer, breezes from the Atlantic can be cool, especially in the evening. We love to wear long sleeved merino wool tops (like this one) as the material helps regulate temperature, is easy to hand wash and packs down small
  • Alongside insect repellent, it is also a good idea to bring or buy some kind of after bite lotion. Mosquitos are prevalent. If camping, I’d suggest a Thermacell repellent applicance or at least some mosquito coils to burn
  • Depending on your interests and preferred road trip stops, you may want to consider purchasing an annual Sépaq pass for Québec’s provincial parks. This waives all daily access fees, helpful if you’re visiting multiple parks
  • Some of the more remote cafes and restaurants on the Gaspe Peninsula will only accept cash. Visiting Québec from the USA? It is best to have Canadian dollars – the vast majority of places will not accept American and those that do will offer an unfavourable exchange rate

Good job with the itinerary. I actually lived in Quebec for a bit over 25 years and did almost exactly the same road trip about 10 years ago. Lots of beauty in Quebec (maybe not as much as BC but a different kind of beauty...)

Gemma

Thanks Frank! You're absolutely right, Quebec has its own kind of beauty and is a wonderful place to explore. Glad to hear you've done this road trip before and can vouch for its awesomeness!
