The New Brunswick Advantage |
|
| There just aren't enough minutes in the hour to experience all of the extraordinary moments that make up a New Brunswick day. From the exhilarating heights of the Bay of Fundy tides, dubbed One of the Marine Wonders of the World , to the magnificent white sand dunes of Bouctouche, New Brunswick is home to some of the most spectacular Natural Wonders in the Maritimes. But we're also renowned for our lively cities, diverse outdoor adventure, and eclectic blend of cultures. Add a dash of Acadian joie de vivre to the mix, and you have the makings of a truly unique Maritime experience.
So whether you want to enjoy our alluring bluffs and beaches, lazy rivers, charming covered bridges and picturesque towns while you kayak, hike, dance the night away, or simply settle in to a well-worn beach chair, is really up to you.
