Carleton-sur-Mer: Parc régional du Mont Saint-Joseph

Carleton-sur-Mer occupies a coastal strip on Chaleur Bay, along Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula. The town sits between the open waters of the bay and the wooded slopes of Mount Saint-Joseph, a local landmark crowned by the Oratoire Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Saint-Joseph. Its shoreline, beaches and harbour keep daily life closely tied to the bay, while the surrounding Gaspésie region is known for its maritime routes and mountain interior. Carleton-sur-Mer also forms part of the traditional territory of the Mi’gmaq of Gespe’gewa’gi, an essential context for this stretch of eastern Quebec.

Quebec has served as a French-speaking heartland within Canada since the 17th century. This vast province stretches from the St. Lawrence River valley to the subarctic north, and the coordinates here lie in its extensive Canadian Shield interior. Boreal forest, lakes, wetlands and rock outcrops shape this sparsely settled part of northern Quebec, where waterways are central to travel and seasonal life. French is Quebec’s official language, while Indigenous nations maintain enduring ties to territories across the province. Quebec City’s historic centre, founded in the early French colonial era, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of northern Quebec.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
