The 'Municipality of Gros-Mécatina' consists of two small isolated fishing villages (
La Tabatière and
Baie-des-Moutons) in
Quebec,
Canada on the Lower North Shore of the
Gulf of Saint Lawrence, near the border with
Labrador.
The municipality can be reached via a regular weekly
ferry service, or
La Tabatière Airport. The villages of La Tabatiere and Baie-des-Moutons are connected via a 10km dirt road that provides some spectacular views of the ocean from the mountains; however, neither community is connected by road access to any community outside of the municipality.
Examples of the views can be seen at
