From its music and cuisine, to its language and traditions, Acadien culture has been an important part of New Brunswick’s identity since the 17th & 18th century. Present day Acadie is brought to life through the burgeoning arts communities that dot the coastline, the culinary scene in cities like Dieppe, Bathurst and Carquet, vibrant music (hello Acadie Rock) and so much more.

The province is home to Canada’s warmest saltwater beaches, which can be found along the eastern shores of the province. With over 50 beautiful beaches to choose from, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
