Cap Mont Joli — Local services in Percé

Someone in a shed stopped me and asked for $2 each admission fee for the path up the hill to see the Percé Rock a little closer. I later found out you won’t see much more after you paid. The 5-min path is not particularly well maintained and the boy didn’t wear a uniform or anything and he requested us to pay only in cash or debit which made it very shady. I wondered if it is just a random person trying to make some quick money out of unprepared tourists. Most were shocked that they had to pay as there was no sign or anything and it doesn’t say it goes toward the maintenance of the scenic spot. some turned away (like us) and some were very doubtful and tried fo gather enough to get up as it’s already 90% up the hill. Others’ comments indicated that it is not worth going, and there is a barrier so you can’t really see more. It is a rip off since it is not closer...

One of the main attractions of this eastbound trip is the Gaspé Peninsula in eastern Quebec, Canada. In eastern Quebec, it is bordered by the St. Lawrence River in the north and separated by the Charler Bay and the Restigouche River in the south. New Brunswick province faces each other and is about 240 kilometers long on the northeast coast of St. Law's Bay. Most of the Gaspe Peninsula is a protected area, with Forion National Park and Gaspe Provincial Park. Cap Mont Joli is one of the top attractions on the Gaspe Peninsula. The best time to see this attraction must be after 5 pm, the boulders are even more spectacular under...

You can't miss passing by Percé and not stopping by this spot to look at this angle of the rock. Bring your coffee, your camera, and enjoy the moment.

I recommend passing by the end of the day. When the sun is setting you'll get unique shades from the sun hitting the right of the rock thru the clouds.

There's free parking just at the skirt, don't make the mistake of parking at the main Percé avenue, it's a little bit of a long walk. There's a guy collecting a $1 entrance fee to the viewpoint. No toilettes nor other facilities...
