Dalhousie
Discover the Beauty of New Brunswick's Most Northern Point!
Head north for the great outdoors and the fantastic folklore of Dalhousie!
Take an early morning trek to Inch Arran Park! Explore the site where the famous Inch Arran Hotel once stood and search the shores of Chaleur Bay for fossils. A visit to the interpretive centre will tell the tale of the Inch Arran Lighthouse and how a candle in a window led to its construction. At the Regional Marina take a Bay/River cruise on the “Chaleur Phantom” or visit Heron Island on the “Tesnegeg Tour Boat”, you’ll hear the fabled story of the Arch Rock as your Captain points out the stone image of a great Native Chief that watches over the Eel River Bar First Nation. Visit Canada’s Newest UNESCO World Heritage site at Miguasha, directly across the mouth of the Restigouche River from Dalhousie.
Cosy shops line the streets of downtown! Sample the fresh catch of the day at the fish market or enjoy a meal at one of our fine restaurants ranging from fast food to candlelight gourmet dining. Don’t miss a tour of “The House that Jack Built” officially known as the Restigouche Regional Museum. Discover our First Nations roots, settlement, history and folklore in a showcase of our rich past.
The summit of Dalhousie Mountain is the perfect viewing ground for the town, and part of North America’s Appalachian Range! Or take a stroll along the beach where the Restigouche River empties into Chaleur Bay and keep an eye out for the Phantom Ship... a burning schooner locals say has been sailing the Bay for hundreds of years, only to vanish moments later. In Dalhousie, you’ll be thrilled by natural sites and stories that have prevailed for centuries!
