Amazing place to watch whales
Nice walking trail ( nice air)

This is an amazing place to watch whales from land: it's easy to see small whales quite close (100m) and, from time to time, also bigger ones.
In my experience it's easier to see whales quite early in the morning, around 10am. Do not forget sun protection in summer.

To enter this place you have to pay around 8CA$, and you can also visit a small but nice museum about whales and phares, and a couple of buildings.

If your goal is only to see some whales from land, I strongly suggest moving 10 minutes North, to Baleine park close to les Ecoumins: it's free and from there you will see more and bigger whales.

Such a great place near tadoussac to watch whales from the shore. Workera are super friendly and nice - Lucie was so very welcoming, helpful and happy to share insights about whales and other species in the Lawrence River.

We went on a beautiful, clear sunny day, which made it such a nice day to hike and also observe the water for whales. We were lucky, with patience, we saw 2 Harbour porpoises. They have a guide for the children to explain the species, and they have a map for them to follow along.

Spectacular park and viewing location. The park gate staff were very welcoming and informative. The shore line provided a brilliant location for both whale and bird photography. I would have liked to have spent more time here.
