Anse du Cap des Rosiers is a coastal bay located within Parc National Forillon on the Gaspé Peninsula, lying north of Cap Bon Ami. The bay's character is defined by its position within a dramatic landscape of steep cliffs, boreal forests, and a mix of sand and pebble beaches. A significant navigational hazard for paddlers is the presence of reefs extending approximately 0.2 miles south from the village of Cap-des-Rosiers-Est. The area is exposed to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, suggesting potential for significant wind and wave action, particularly given the open fetch. The primary access point for paddlers is likely the beach at Cap-Bon-Ami, which is situated at the very end of the bay and offers a direct launch point. This beach also serves as a vantage point for observing wildlife, including seabirds nesting on the cliff faces and seals in the water. The broader area is recognized as a waterfowl concentration area. There are no specific paddling restrictions mentioned, but as the bay is within a national park, general park regulations apply. The terrain is rugged, with very steep trails leading to viewpoints above the cliffs for those seeking a land-based perspective. The water body's aesthetic is one of raw, grand coastal scenery where cliffs plunge directly into the sea.
