TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Cove Beach.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Cove Beach is a locality in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Cove Beach is located at 48.5033°N, 64.1739°W.
Cove Beach rests along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air clings to the skin and the horizon seems perpetually held in a grey, monochromatic grip. It lies 3.5 km south-east of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 130°T), and is situated 26.4 km east-north-east of Grande-Rivière. The shoreline here is defined by the imposing presence of Le Sugar Loaf, a sentinel of stone that watches over the tidal shifts with an indifferent, ancient stoicism. Just a short distance away, Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé anchors the view, its massive geological features rising from the depths to break the Atlantic swells. When the light fades, the water assumes the texture of hammered lead, and the wind carries the sharp, clean scent of cold currents moving against the shore. The history of Cove Beach lingers in the persistent sound of the tide and the memory of small vessels that once navigated these volatile waters. While the Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils flows through the landscape some distance away, the local life at Cove Beach stays fixed on the immediate demands of the coast and the seasonal migration of the sea. The economy here remains sparse and hard-won, dictated by the temperament of the Gulf and the fleeting nature of the tourist season. Residents move through their days with a pragmatic focus, acknowledging the harsh beauty of their surroundings while maintaining a quiet, steady resolve that mirrors the steadfast rock formations standing guard at the edge of the world.
Cove Beach s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard bute sur la masse imposante du Sugar Loaf. Ce littoral, façonné par les assauts salins et le souffle constant des marées, conserve une rudesse qui semble ignorer les artifices du monde moderne. À une distance à peine mesurable, le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé dresse ses falaises protectrices, offrant aux habitants une présence monumentale qui rythme le quotidien entre la terre ferme et l’horizon bleuté. Tandis que la Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils déverse ses eaux à onze kilomètres de là, Cove Beach demeure un repli tranquille, une étroite bande de terre où la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les galets avec une douceur presque irréelle. L’histoire des lieux, portée par les vagues et le travail acharné des familles de pêcheurs, imprègne chaque anfractuosité du terrain. Ici, le ciel change de teinte avec une célérité surprenante, passant du gris perle à un orangé profond qui souligne la silhouette familière du Sugar Loaf. L’air, chargé d’iode et de souvenirs marins, rappelle sans cesse la proximité indéfectible avec le Saint-Laurent, ce géant dont le mouvement perpétuel définit l’âme même de Cove Beach.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
