Neguac
On the north shore of the Miramichi Bay is the village of Neguac. Considered the Oyster Hub of Atlantic
Canada, about 92 percent of its residents are Francophone and most are bilingual.
Neguac is an important Acadian and French cultural centre. The Savoie monument is displayed at the entrance
of the Richelieu Municipal Park commemorating the arrival of the first Savoie’s around 1757. With exceptional
natural attractions such as the magnificent dunes along its shores and the Miramichi Bay, visitors can enjoy a day
at the beach or take in the Eco-tourism Park.
Richelieu Municipal Park, situated in the heart of the community has been transformed into a wonderful
place for families and visitors. Since 2022, we have a walking trail, splash pad and playground. There is a gazebo
that can be transformed into an outdoor stage.
At the Neguac Wharf, services include water and electricity and boat launches.
