Beaches and Moose in New Brunswick

July 30 to August 2, 2025 · Carleton, Atholville, Anse-Bleue, Tracadie

We finished laundry in Quebec and drove into New Brunswick on what was turning out to be a long, beautiful and eventful day. At Anse-Bleue, we set up camp for the night right by the ocean.

The next morning, waking “in our little mini van” with the water right there beside us, we went down to the beach. Piping plovers and jellyfish came into view, and “Jelly pish!” was all we could say. We spotted a moose near Miscou Island.

At Tracadie, there was beach glass. We saw grasshoppers and a hermit crab, and later we watched parasurfers riding the waves.
