Located at its outermost extremity, where the St. Lawrence estuary meets the open ocean, Land's End (La Pointe) is where you'll find the bulk of the Gaspé Peninsula's population, as well as the most interesting attractions of the region.
As with the rest of the Gaspé Peninsula, Provincial Route 132 is the main road in and out of the Land's End area.
