Auberge Festive Sea Shack

Top choice in Gaspé Peninsula


With a huge common area and beach bar where bands often play, plus dorm beds in cabins, bungalows and yurts, this HI hostel – about 10km east of Ste Anne des Monts – is the sort of lodging that gets people into backpacking. Water-lovers can kayak on the river or just gaze at it from the outdoor hot tub.
