The name "Boom Defence" comes from historic military installations that protected the bay entrance during World War II. The spot is in the inner part of the bay, offering semi-protected water. The Baie de Gaspé opens to the southeast, catching offshore winds. Remarkable historical and natural setting near Forillon National Park.
