Acadian Peninsula Waterfront
New Brunswick's Acadian heartland — Caraquet, Shippagan and Miscou Island, fishing harbours and warm Gulf beaches steeped in Acadian culture.
Overview
Acadian coast and islands
The Acadian Peninsula reaches into the Gulf of St. Lawrence in northeastern New Brunswick, from the Restigouche east along Chaleur Bay to Miscou Island. Caraquet — its cultural capital — sits on Chaleur Bay, a thriving fishing port and home of the Village Historique Acadien and the famous Festival Acadien.
Shippagan, Lamèque and Miscou string out toward the gulf, with lighthouses, peat bogs and warm sandy beaches.

Warm-water coastal living
The Gulf waters here are warm and the culture vibrantly Acadian and French-speaking, with a marine economy of lobster and crab fishing.
Waterfront ranges from harbour-town homes in Caraquet and Shippagan to gulf-side cottages and island properties on Miscou — affordable, authentic and warm in summer.
