Cracking open a juicy lobster is just the beginning of your stay in Shediac… a vacation paradise nestled along New Brunswick’s spectacular eastern seashore. Known as The Lobster Capital of the World for lobster-fishing, processing plants, live lobster tanks and the famous Lobster Festival, this is where you’ll find The World’s Largest Lobster!
Take a dip in the finest saltwater beaches in eastern Canada! With waters peaking at 24°C (75°F), it’s some of the warmest water north of Virginia. Boating, windsurfing, golf and hiking are just a few of the attractions on or near pristine, sprawling sandy beaches.
About town, there are many fine restaurants serving succulent seafood to tempt your palate, from scallops to salmon to lobster, of course! Stroll through the Corridor of Lights… a special touch to downtown Shediac. Stop for a rest at an outdoor café, or search for those special trinkets in the many shops, boutiques and art galleries. See the best of local artisans at the Shediac Art Festivals. Don’t miss The Blues Festival, BBQ and Sunday market.
Shediac is a community of firsts! New Brunswick’s first steam sawmill was built here, the first passenger railroad in the Maritimes was located here, and this is where the first shipbuilding firm in New Brunswick started out. And with such a vibrant and rich Acadian culture and heritage, it’s also fitting that this was the home of the first Acadian World Congress.
