Le Goulet is an authentic gem on the coast of New Brunswick, set between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Pokemouche River. This small village embodies the spirit of Acadian culture, where fishing and peat moss harvesting have been the backbone of the community for generations. The surroundings are characterized by vast dune landscapes and untouched nature that invites visitors to unwind. The shoreline gives beautiful stretches such as Shippegan Beach and Pokemouche Beach. These beaches are convenient for long walks and offer panoramic views of the ocean. Shippegan Beach is particularly known for its fine sand dunes, while Pokemouche Beach impresses with its natural serenity. Water temperatures in the summer are surprisingly mild for the region, making these beaches popular destinations for locals and nature enthusiasts. Culinary-wise, everything in Le Goulet revolves around fresh seafood. Lobster, crab, and various fish species are on the menu daily. The local community celebrates its traditions with warmth, and the colorful houses along the coastal road give the village an easy on the eye character. Access is mostly via Route 113, which provides spectacular views of the coastal landscape of the Acadian Peninsula.
