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.
