Pointe-Sapin is a proud Acadian community on the east coast of New Brunswick. The village is deeply rooted in fishing traditions, which can be seen at the busy fishing harbor where fresh lobster and other seafood are landed daily. Acadian culture is omnipresent here in the language, music, and warm hospitality. The natural surroundings are spectacular, as the village borders Kouchibouguac National Park. Notable beaches include the North Kouchibouguac Dune and Escuminac Beaches. These pristine sand dunes and coastal stretches provide habitat for numerous bird species and are good for nature enthusiasts. The water in the Northumberland Strait is pleasantly warm here during the summer. Visitors to Pointe-Sapin can enjoy the tranquility of the coast or engage in activities like kayaking and hiking in the nearby parks. Local cuisine features traditional Acadian dishes and world-class seafood. Pointe-Sapin is accessible via scenic Route 117, which is part of the Acadian Coastal Drive.
