💡 Tips

  • If visiting the sandy beaches, stay on the marked boardwalks to protect the fragile marram grass and delicate dune systems.
  • Summer weekends can bring many city day-trippers, so arrive early for the best parking near the beach access points.
  • Be prepared for a strong ocean breeze even on sunny days; packing a light windbreaker is always a good idea.
  • Listen to the locals chatting; you might hear people speaking a distinct and characterful regional Acadian French dialect.
