Richibucto

Richibucto is located at the mouth of the river of the same name into the Northumberland Strait and is a cultural center of the Acadian community in New Brunswick. The town is proud of its maritime history, which is closely linked to shipbuilding and fishing. Visitors are greeted by warm Acadian hospitality and a bilingual culture. Richibucto harbor is a lively place where you can watch the daily activities of the fishermen. The region's greatest natural attraction is the North Richibucto Dune. This massive sand dune stretches for kilometers and protects the harbor from the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The North Richibucto Dune is part of a fragile ecosystem and gives spectacular, pristine beaches that are only accessible by boat. This guarantees an exclusive nature experience far away from any civilization. The fine sand and warm water of the Northumberland Strait make the trip an unforgettable experience. In the town center, visitors will find historic buildings and monuments testifying to the indigenous Mi'kmaq and Acadian history. Richibucto is also known for its excellent cuisine, with lobster and scallops naturally at the top of the menu. Every year, the town celebrates the 'Scallop Festival', which attracts visitors from all over the region. Its location on Highway 11 makes the town a convenient stop on the way along the Acadian coast.
