This municipality, located between the sea and the mountains, boasts the most powerful and tallest vertical axis windmill in the world. You cannot miss the 76 windmills that have been erected in the landscape. Le Nordais Windmill Park has 133 windmills. With an installed power of 100 MW, this is the largest windmill park ever built in Canada and one of the largest in all of North America.

Cap-Chat also has a sports centre, an outdoor centre and a superb salmon river. At the entrance of the town, before arriving at the windmill park, the Capucins roadside rest area presents a unique panorama of tomorrow's energy. As you leave town, and cross the bridge, you will find yourself in a roadside rest area containing a pedestrian trail leading to the beach and featuring an unimpeded view of the Chic-Chocs Mountains.
