Jacques Cartier Provincial Park Map [PDF]
The island's first European visitor came ashore in 1534 in the vicinity of this provincial park which
bears his name, Jacques Cartier. He remarked that this was “the fairest land 'tis possible to see!” The park holds a
celebration of this great discovery every July on Rediscovery Day. Jacques Cartier Provincial Park offers a wide range
of activities for all ages. A full-time naturalist leads nature walks and children's games and there is supervised
swimming at the beautiful beach on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Nearby attractions include the
Alberton Museum & Genealogy Centre, Tignish and
North Cape.
Jacques Cartier Provincial Park is located within the North Cape Coastal Drive touring region.
