Carleton-sur-Mer
Carleton-sur-Mer · Canada
A modest town on the south shore of Quebec's Gaspésie region, Carleton-sur-Mer sits along Chaleur Bay, where two sandbars meet to form a barachois lagoon frequented by herons. Its beaches on the bay are swimmable, and Mont Saint-Joseph rises behind the town. The waterfront centre and the bay views make it a well-established tourist stop on the Gaspésie coast.
