    Acadian Coastal Drive

    Monica’s Trip Tip

    Monica McIntyre

    “Get to know the beach, intimately”

    We have a beautiful nature walk right here at Escuminac Beach. It’s about an 8 km walk to go the length of the beach straight to the lighthouse and back. I know the beach intimately and every time I love to see osprey, plovers and how the dunes are forming and changing shape. I pick up driftwood, beach glass... lot of things really.

    The BEST WAY to explore the Acadian Coast? Jump right in!

    Swim-perfect saltwater beaches, eco-treasured sand dunes and the natural beauty of Chaleur Bay, designated as One of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World, are a prelude to the spectacular panoramas of the Acadian Peninsula and Isles of Acadie. Your stops along the way will be flavoured with delicious Acadian cuisine and scrumptious seafood. But it is the warmth, charm and joie de vivre (love of life) of the Acadian people that will linger with you forever.
