Kouchibouguac National Park

Resisting the urge to pronounce it "koo-she-boujee," Kouchibouguac National Park is located on the east coast of New Brunswick, between Moncton and Miramichi, making it a fantastic stop on this route. This hidden gem blends natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and cultural significance. Actually pronounced “Koo-she-boo-gwack,” the park’s name comes from the Mi’kmaq word meaning "river of long tides" and is renowned for its sand dunes, salt marshes, and warm coastal lagoons. Be sure to visit Kellys Beach, where a leisurely stroll along the boardwalks takes you over the sand dunes and into stunning coastal views. The park is also a haven for wildlife, including grey seals, beavers, and an impressive variety of bird species, with herons and ospreys being particularly popular sightings. If you’re here as the sun sets, you’re in for a treat. As one of Canada’s designated dark sky preserves, the park offers incredible opportunities for stargazing and night photography. Kouchibouguac is a perfect stop for those looking for a quieter, less-travelled alternative to busier national parks.

Moncton & Shediac - Ideas for Free Time

Moncton is a vibrant and busy city and whilst it lacks the historical districts that other New Brunswick towns and cities have, its heritage is brought to life through a number of cultural institutions and museums. Worth visiting if you have time are the Moncton Museum and the Transportation Discovery Centre, which between them give an insight in to the various industries and cultures that have shaped the city. Additionally, the Musée Adacian at the University of Moncton tells the interesting story of the resilient Acadian settlers through a range of exhibits, guided tours and historical documentaries. For a place to stretch your legs Centennial Park offers a peaceful refuge in the middle of the city, and nearby Magnetic Hill winery is a great spot for lunch with a view and a fine glass of local wine. In Shediac you will naturally be drawn to the ocean, whether you simply stroll along the beautiful Parlee Beach or take to the water on a lobster cruise. The town is also brimming with quaint trinket shops boutique art galleries, and restaurants serving mouth-watering seafood so allow some time to meander here.

Miramichi River – Ideas for Free Time

Fishing is the primary attraction of this area, with people losing themselves for days along the forest-flanked riverbanks, mesmerised by the tranquillity and remoteness. However, there are also a number of walking and cycling trails along the valley, several golf courses, and some uniquely local attractions such as the Atlantic Salmon Museum in Miramichi and the Central Woodsmen’s Museum in Boiestown. Additionally, the Metepenagiag First Nations Heritage Park, tucked away in Red Bank, is a state-of-the-art facility showcasing over 3,000 years of Mi’kmaq culture through visual displays, interpretive exhibits, and demonstrations. Findings from two nearby Aboriginal archaeological sites are on display, underpinning the importance and spirituality of this ancestral home, which is now believed to be the oldest continually inhabited site in New Brunswick. Please note that, for conservation purposes, fishing is tightly controlled in the region. A licence is required, and all anglers must use a registered guide.

St. Andrews & Grand Manan – Ideas for Free Time

The centre of St Andrews is a classic example of colonial town planning—a neat, rectangular grid that slopes gently towards the harbour and can be easily explored on foot. The pretty, poker-straight streets are broken up by open squares that frame public buildings and a marketplace. The main street, which runs along the harbourfront, is lined with charming restaurants, craft shops, and souvenir shops, whilst on the other side of the peninsula, civic gardens and nature reserves border a sandy beach and the warm, sheltered Katy's Cove—a great place for a dip. Grand Manan is accessed by a 90-minute ferry crossing that departs from Blacks Harbour, about a 40-minute drive from St Andrews. At the northern end, where the ferry arrives, Swallowtail Lighthouse keeps watch and provides a great setting for a few photographs and a picnic. You can also often spot seals raiding the old fishing weirs below. There is a small museum in Grand Harbour which is worth a visit if you have an hour or so, even if just to set the island in its historical context, but many people head straight to Seal Cove, considered the prettiest village on the island. As well as the bustling little fishing harbour, many historic herring smokehouses line the waterfront, with a small informal museum telling the story of this once-thriving industry. Over 70 kilometres of hiking trails weave across and around the island, and this is the perfect place to explore solitary beaches, majestic cliffs, and a whole host of scenery, as well as observe birdlife and keep an eye out for whales. A guide to the walking trails is available from most local shops. Both St Andrews and Grand Manan offer fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities, with excursions that venture out into the Bay of Fundy. The whales’ favourite feeding grounds are easily accessible from this side of the bay, and the boat trips from here normally provide memorable sightings.
