Percé is absolutely beautiful & a must see. The newly built boardwalk is fantastic! However, it has become all about “how much money can be gouged from tourists”. In fact, Gaspésie has now become this as a whole & has changed so much from what I experienced for many years, previously. Areas of interest, which used to be local secrets are now money making hot spots & inundated with tourists, paying entry fees. I love Gaspésie, but it’s lost some serious magic, including camping on beaches (now forbidden). I fear, things will only get worse with time.

Percé Rock is a major tourist attraction in Quebec, with picturesque views of the rock from both Percé and nearby Bonaventure Island, it's symbol of Quebec tourism, a must see in Gaspe region. It is 433 metres (1,421 ft) long, 90 metres (300 ft) wide, and 88 metres (289 ft) high. It appears from a distance like a ship under sail. It is one of the world's largest natural arches located in water and is considered a geologically and historically rich natural icon of Quebec. The cruise will circle the rock for amazing view of the rock.

Amazing place, amazing view. Worth the trip. Very serene, land picturesque location. Extensive view of the ocean and there's a Pier at the wharf that you can take a nice stroll. Accessible parking. The town is generally a small beautiful cozy atmosphere. Winter looks quiet not much going on which can be a plus. Nearby there is a Geopark trail to the top which has a bonus view..very beautiful from the top unfortunately the access points were closed during the winter so the view was limited but still gorgeous.

Such a breathtaking view of this place. I am in absolute love with this place. Not only the Perce Rock but the entire drive to this place is a heavenly feel that each person must experience. The city, beach, shops, ice creams, restaurants, beautiful walks along the sea side what not. The drive from Montreal to Gaspe of 10hrs is 1000times worth for us and I will cherish these memories as I am awestruck with these.

Stunning site with amazing views of the rock formations in the ocean. It’s worth the trip and the walk. Most people will go to the main viewing area right next to the rocks, which require some creative parking efforts and a lot of walking and climbing. However there are multiple points around the town to capture the sight of the rocks and each one is worth the detour.

It was an awesome experience while going down to near the rock… not all the time we can visit very near to the rock… only if it is no moon week then you can try or else there is full of water… but this is amazing and spectacular view from walking adjacent to the rock… its an experience!!
