The mystique of the ocean is one of our universe's most uncharted territories. And when the tides recede, the sea offers up a profusion of the precious pieces of its age-old puzzle for us to explore in so many unique ways… Along the breathtaking rugged coastline of New Brunswick, you can beachcomb to your heart's delight as the peaceful sounds of the surf play in the background. Let your curiosity get the best of you and learn about our natural eco-treasures or just enjoy being a rockhound.

We have over 24 extraordinary Discovery Beaches and one of the last great sand dunes on the northeastern coast of North America - Irving Eco-Centre, La Dune de Bouctouche! They're all natural and they're magnificent!

Feel the adrenaline rush as you rappel toward the ocean on the challenging cliffs of Cape Enrage. Let your paddle gently cut the silent waters as you glide past the Eel River Sand Bar on the Chaleur Bay. Squish your toes in wet sand as you walk on the ocean floor at low tide, or take a stride past a historic lighthouse on Miscou Island.

At the Irving Eco-Centre, La Dune de Bouctouche the world of the nearby salt marshes will fill up your senses, where the gentle hum of insects is interrupted only by the occasional birdsong. It is the closest you will come to the fragility of nature in its purest form… preserved, untouched and waiting for you to experience on your own or with professional interpretation.

Nature will take you to a whole new world along our dunes and discovery beaches. Don't miss this captivating coastline experience!
