Miramichi Bay

Miramichi Bay is home to picturesque fishing villages, warm sandy
beaches, Canada's largest full-service inshore wharf, fresh seafood and
vibrant Acadian communities.
Come and spend some time on the Bay! Savour the taste of fresh
lobster (in season) cooked on the open water when you join some of our
local fishermen for a day. Go deep sea fishing, have a barbecue or tour
some of the islands - there are many fun-filled options to choose from!
Spend a sun-filled day with your toes in the sand at Escuminac Beach.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the many boardwalks or hike the 14 km trail
to the Escuminac Point lighthouse for a spectacular view!
To buy fresh seafood from a fisherman or from the local fish market
visit the Escuminac Wharf, home base for over 500 inshore fishing boats and host to several events throughout
the summer.
Escuminac Point is home to coastal peat cliffs, that are one to six metres high, and extend up to eight kms
around this small peninsula. While they are a common sight in New Brunswick and are exceptionally well
displayed at Escuminac Point, peat cliffs are a rare sight anywhere else in the world.
