Overview

Looking for THINGS TO DO? (Don't worry, they'll find you…)

The Acadian coast is packed to the gills with things to do. Road signs alert you to community lobster suppers, farmers markets and festivals. The zing of fiddles and stomping feet will lead to celebrations in progress. The tang of salty air guides you to beaches where you can linger all day. Opportunities for new adventures abound. The Village Historique Acadien allows you to walk in the shoes of original Acadians. Go deep with over 100 species of marine life at the New Brunswick Aquarium and Marine Centre. Marvel at our rare white sand dunes at the Irving Eco-Centre, La Dune de Bouctouche. Delve into the spiritual side of the Acadians at the Popes Museum or discover the infectious joie de vivre (love of life) of internationally renowned author Antonine Maillet's colourful characters at Le Pays de la Sagouine in Bouctouche. Relax and get pampered with a spa stay. Grab a camera and wander the Cape Jourimain Nature Centre. There’s always more waiting here for you.

Culture & Entertainment

In this corner of the world, culture can be as simple as a kitchen party that starts with a fiddle and ends with foot-stomping fun in the wee hours. Or as elegant as an International Baroque Music Festival.
