Percé Rock (French rocher Percé, "pierced rock") is a huge sheer rock formation in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence on the tip of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, Canada, off Percé Bay. It is one of the world's largest natural arches located in water and is considered a geologically and historically-rich natural icon of Quebec. It is a major attraction in the Gaspesie region. The Rock is a limestone stack aged 375 million years old, with a leght of 433 metres, a width of 90 metres and a height of 88 metres at its highest point. The arch (hole) itself is 15 metres height.
