Port Elgin
River's view - Light green home overlooking the river.

Port Elgin is truly a forgotten gem.
Once an established hunting and fishing space for Mi’kmaq, prominent site of Acadian expulsion, logging and trade hub between the Maritime provinces and Quebec, and the primary rail and ferry gateway to Prince Edward Island through the nearby harbor of Cape Tormentine... today the hamlet is far from what it once was. Port Elgin is now a sleepy little pit stop on the way to other places like so many other villages within New Brunswick. A town embraced by overgrown farmlands, dense forest, rocky beaches, and the cold Atlantic whose rich history is exemplified by its antique homes and tight neighborhoods.
Cap-Pelé
Out to Sea - A-frame home with a view.
Behind Pines - Yellow house with blue trim.
Founded in 1790, Cap-Pelé is probably best know for its beaches, the best in New Brunswick, and an aroma of smoked fish that persists through the long cold winter. Its a vibe.
Shediac
L'Auberge Gabrièle Inn - Yellow house with turquoise shutters was once the former United Baptist Shediac church built in the Georgian style circa 1840, moved to its current site overlooking the Shediac bay in 1890, and converted to an inn in the 1980s.
Oliver M Melanson House - Light cyan two and a half story residence, built in 1898 in the Queen Anne style that was popular with the wealthy at the time. Aside from successful business ventures in seafood and shipping, Oliver M Melanson was the first Acadian Speaker of the House to the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly.
Bouctouche
Old Shutters - Abandoned home with green shutters and a view of the dunes.
Cocagne
Flags - A little house in Cocagne sporting Acadian and Mik'maqi flags
Cape Spear
...not to be confused with Cape Spear Newfoundland, its New Brunswick cousin doesn't have a whole heck of a lot going on. Grounds of fishing, agriculture, and summer vacation vibes located somewhere between Port Elgin and Cape Tormentine at the edge of the Baie Verte. It is elusive NB centric coastal quaintness at its finest.
La Blue Casa
”À la Blue Casa,chez moi,c'est chez toi!"
A warm & friendly space that feels like home!
On ravigote l’esprit communautaire avec nos special events! ✨💙
La Grosse Rose!
There's many magical spots within new Brunswick, but none compare to the secret recording spot for Les Hay Babies, La Grosse Rose!
Bridgeview - Cape Tormentine
...is like so many other places - one that "once was". Previously main way to Prince Edward Island by rail and ferry, the Cape has seen a huge decline since the opening of the Confederation Bridge. Now it's a community of vacation stayaways where sandy beaches upon the Northumberland Strait make for quiet peaceful summers.
Memramcook in Red
The windswept valley hamlet of Memramcook hosts giant structures of old. Of all the little agricultural Acadian places in the Maritimes, this one sits high on the list.
Signage
Left - Acadian Coast Drive signage found along the Acadian Coast of New Brunswick, Canada.
Right - Stop/Arret sign found on every street/rue corner.
