It lies 17.0 km west-south-west of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 248°T), and is situated 3.6 km east of Carleton-sur-Mer. The coastline here is a soft curve, a place where the St. Lawrence River’s vastness meets the Atlantic, its waters often a deep, shifting blue under skies that can turn from a clear, crisp grey to a soft, pearly luminescence as the day wanes. Fields of green and gold, carved by the hands of generations, lie behind the shoreline, their surfaces rippling under the persistent sea breeze. The air itself carries a clean, briny tang, mingled with the faint, sweet scent of pine from the forested slopes that rise inland, a quiet backdrop to the open expanse of the water. The history of Pointe-Bourg is deeply tied to the sea, its early settlers drawn by the promise of abundant cod and the sheltered harbour. Fishing, once the undisputed lifeblood, continues to shape the rhythm of Pointe-Bourg, though the boats now often carry more than just the day's catch; many are also equipped for tourism, offering excursions to explore the bay’s marine life or simply to admire the rugged beauty of the Gaspé Peninsula from the water. The quiet hum of this maritime heritage is evident in the weathered docks and the closely-knit nature of the community, a place where a shared understanding of the tides and seasons binds its people. The local economy, while still anchored in its maritime roots, has found new avenues in the growing appeal of the region for its natural landscapes, drawing visitors seeking the quietude and rugged charm that Pointe-Bourg offers in abundance.
