The seaside resort of Carleton-sur-Mer is one of the largest tourist centres in the Gaspé Peninsula. Its beaches, its magnificent sea and mountain landscape, as well as the mild climate of the Bay have contributed, over the years, to the growth and development of many fine hotels and services that can be found in high quantity and quality: hotel facilities, restaurants, campgrounds, golf, marina, hiking trails, bicycle trail, cultural production and broadcasting centre, recreational park, wildlife refuge, thalassotherapy spa.
Whether you are on foot, riding a bicycle or driving a car, you will discover particularly interesting attractions as you travel around the barachois and the new bicycle trail. By taking the panoramic route, you will discover a very special play area where you have your choice of games to play.
On Banc de Larocque, located across from the village, you will find the municipal campground conveniently located on what used to be called the barre à choir (barachois). This veritable campers' paradise compares favourably with the best campgrounds in the province, and contains a wonderful children's play area. At the far end of the campground, you can visit the lighthouse at Tracadigash Point, and discover a breathtaking maritime panorama.
For walking enthusiasts, hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty (family and intermediate) lead to the summits of Mont Saint-Joseph (555 metres) and Mont Carleton (613 metres). This network of some 30 kilometres that ends up behind Maria, is full of waterfalls, observation points and breathtaking panoramas.
