New Brunswick’s ruggedly beautiful bay of Fundy is matched by the gently rolling landscape of Acadian villages tucked into quiet coves and long sandy beaches.
Along New Brunswick’s eastern shore, the tremendous tides of the Bay of Fundy are a powerful feature everyday life. Twice a day, over 100 billion tons of water swirl into and out of the bay, creating a tidal shift of up to 15M and carving out a stunning wild and rocky shoreline.
One of the best places to experience these world famous tidal wonders is a Fundy National Park. Here at low tide, visitors can walk out over the Hopewell Rocks, looking for marine treasures.

Nearby, the Lameque and Miscou islands are connected by causeways to the mainland. On Miscou Island, a 1 Km boardwalk leads through a peat bot with interpretive signs about this unique ecosystem. You will also find a 35M Miscou Lighthouse is the oldest operating wooden lighthouse in Canada.
Home to many Acadian artists, Caraquest is the busy cultural center of the peninsula. On the waterfront, adventure centers offer guided kayak trips on the Bai de Chaleurs.
