Shediac at a Glance
The Town of Shediac is located on the Eastern
coast of New Brunswick, just a short 20 minute drive from Moncton
and approximately 45 minutes from Confederation
Bridge, which links New Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island. Shediac is known as the lobster capital of the world and
is home to the Shediac
Lobster Festival, which, since 1949, has celebrated Maritime and Acadian
culture, food and entertainment. Visit the World's
Largest Lobster, a sculpture and roadside attraction located in Rotary
Park. Parlee
Beach, which boasts some of the warmest salt water north of Virginia,
is host to a range of oceanic activities such as swimming, kayaking, windsurfing,
bay cruises, lobster trapping tours and much more. The Acadian history of the
town can be explored in the Pascal-Poirier
Art Gallery and Museum, former home of Shediac native Pascal Poirier, who
was an author, a patriot and Canada's first Acadian senator.
