💡 Tips

  • Explore the Acadian Peninsula by car; distances are often longer than they appear on the map.
  • Visit Île aux Foins Park early in the morning for the best and quietest bird watching.
  • Try to catch the local Acadian festivals in mid-August to experience the lively Tintamarre.
  • Bring mosquito repellent in summer, as the marshy coastal areas can get very buggy.
  • Look for road-side seafood shacks to find the freshest catch of the day without the restaurant markup.
