Do you dream of packing your and going on a trip?
For! It is simply not an ethically valid concept to travel to the fullest of possibilities at this time. As COVID-19 has an effect on the world, you will notice that there are serious restrictions in many countries.
Even if you think you have little threat of contracting the virus, the bans are designed to protect everyone, whether at home or in places where you’d like to fix
Our recommendation right now is at home, but you can still dream, right?
With that in mind, start making plans for your first post-COVID-19 with a destination that makes you feel absolutely new and familiar.
Maritime Quebec, called Quebec-by-the-sea, is like no other place you’ve ever been. You will be completely immersed in another culture and a rich linguistic tradition, but it is close enough to feel less intimidating than a transatlantic holiday after a long travel break.
Quebec is a giant province in eastern Canada, bordering Maine and Vermont to the south. Predominantly French-speaking Quebec provides American travelers with all the comforts of a home in a captivating and elegant beach destination, thanks to the French-speaking influence!
Maritime Quebec Lower Saint Laurent, Gaspésie, North Shore and the Magdalen Islands.
St. Lawrence is the nerve center of maritime Quebec. One of the largest rivers in the world is also a gulf and an estuary.
The other people of maritime Quebec call this waterway “the sea”.
Take a river cruise to the Magdalen Islands or board one of the nine ferries connecting to other parts of the region. You can also kayak the waterway and stop at islands and regions such as the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve and the Seven Islands Archipelago.
The entire coast of the sea and the Gulf of San Lorenzo are full of marine life, adding mammals such as blue whales and humpbacks.
Head to Saguenay – St. Lawrence Marine Park for marine mammals along St. Lawrence. Small whales, fin whales, humpback whales and harbour porpoises have fun here in the waters.
Visitors to Gaspésia will have to keep their eyes open to see whales and dolphins in Forillon National Park and Bonaventure Island National Park.
Amateur ornithologists flock (even?!) To maritime Quebec to observe birds of all kinds in their herbal habitat. Follow him and you will see another 150 species in Gaspésie National Park.
On the coast, after a short boat trip to Bonaventure Island, you can see 110,000 gannets gathered in the summer to breed. However, one of the most popular birds to practice here in the maritime region of Quebec is the monk friar. Plan a vacation in the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve to see those rare and enchanting seabirds, called sea clowns!
The puffin is provided on the north coast and the Magdalena Islands.
There are more than lighthouses on the coast of the region, many of which serve as an ancient monument to the maritime past.
Visitors can 18 of them serve as tourist destinations in their own right. Some of them have been changed to cafes, restaurants or even singles accommodation!

As you’d expect from such a region steeped in French culture, the maritime Quebec offers visitors incredible dining options.
Seafood is delicious, dinner is an event, and local food tours and trails locate craft beers and fine cheeses. Don’t go over the house before looking for blackberries, it’s a local specialty!
