What to do in Gaspésie in April

In April, spring slowly settles over Gaspésie. The sea begins to clear of ice, the sun comes out and warms the beaches, making them perfect for a stroll. The long Easter weekend is ideal for a relaxing getaway at a chalet or spa. It’s also the start of crab and shrimp season — best enjoyed fresh from the local fish markets and restaurants. You can also take advantage of the last patches of snow on the high peaks for some sunny backcountry skiing.
