Experience the Acadian Culture’s Joie de Vivre
From its music and cuisine, to its language and traditions, Acadien culture has been an important part of New Brunswick’s identity since the 17th & 18th century. Present day Acadie is brought to life through the burgeoning arts communities that dot the coastline, the culinary scene in cities like Dieppe, Bathurst and Carquet, vibrant music (hello Acadie Rock) and so much more.

The province is home to Canada’s warmest saltwater beaches, which can be found along the eastern shores of the province. With over 50 beautiful beaches to choose from, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Dive deep into the Highest Tides
The Bay of Fundy is known for having the highest tides in the world, which can reach up to 16 meters in height. You can catch this natural wonder in action at the iconic Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park. There you can walk on the ocean floor during low tide and kayak around towering rock formations during high tide.
Snap a Pic of the Biggest Lobster
Shediac, NB is known as the lobster capital of the world, so it isn’t surprising that they also have the world’s largest lobster. We are talking, of course, about the epic Shediac lobster statue. This concrete and reinforced steel crustacean was sculpted by Canadian artist Winston Bronnum. And what makes the destination even better is the numerous seafood restaurants nearby, where you can get everything from a lobster, to a lobster roll, or even a lobster platter. Hungry yet?
