Warm, calm waters and clean sand make this family-friendly beach a popular place for a day of seaside relaxation.

Due to its latitude, Parlee Beach Provincial Park has some of the finest weather north of Virginia. It also claims to have the warmest saltwater in Canada. Throughout the summer, the long stretch of fine sand hosts numerous sporting activities. So pack a swimsuit and picnic blanket and settle in for the day.

Lie back on the sand to top up your tan and then go for a swim. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer season, which is one of the reasons why the beach is popular with families who have young children.

If you are feeling competitive, join in with one of the sporting activities. They can include football, beach volleyball, Frisbee and sand sculpture competitions. Stay until sunset when the tide is low and walk along the sandbar, which almost reaches the Pointe-du-Chêne Marina.

Book tickets for a concert at the amphitheater. To find out if there are scheduled performances during your visit, go to New Brunswick’s official tourism website.

Allocate some time in your schedule to go to nearby Shediac. The coastal town is less than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) away and is known locally as the Lobster Capital of the World for its lobster industry. Sample some fresh catches in a restaurant then have your photograph taken next to the large statue of a lobster. The figure is at 16 feet (5 meters) tall and 35 feet (11 meters) long.

Return to the provincial park and consider overnight stays at the campground, which has more than 190 campsites. The facilities include a canteen, restaurants, showers and washroom. There is also a picnic area and a playground for children.

Parlee Beach Provincial Park is situated in Pointe-du-Chêne in southeast New Brunswick. It is open every day in the summer from morning until late at night, and admission fees apply.
