What to Do in Gaspésie in April

April is when spring begins in Gaspésie. The ice on the St. Lawrence slowly melts, while the sun comes out and warms the beaches, making them perfect places to go for a stroll.

The long Easter weekend is ideal for a relaxing getaway at a cottage or spa. This time of year also marks the beginning of crab and shrimp season—both of these delicacies are best savoured fresh at local fish markets or restaurants. You can also take advantage of the last snowfalls on the highest peaks to go backcountry skiing under a spring sun.
