Irving Eco-centre, la Dune de Bouctouche

The beach is incredible. We stayed a few kilometers down the road and came here several times. The waves were always small . Our kids skim boarded a ton. The community really backs this. Staff walk the beach frequently to pick up litter and maintain the grounds.

We enjoyed a lovely relaxing walk on the board walk along the sand dunes. In speaking with a very pleasant lady who was setting up some fencing, we learned that the sand dunes have been greatly affected by major storms like Fiona that have come through the area. As a result the dunes are decreasing in length. Most importantly, vegetation and sea shells must remain undisturbed so they can continue to nourish the soil and keep the remaining sand dunes thriving for all of us to enjoy! There was no cost and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Well worth the visit!

Walked on the raised boardwalks of the dune beach. It's a short walk, not that long, probably a 30 min walk if you take your time really.

Along the way, there are these information displays about the nature/wildlife found there.

There are these information buildings at the beginning of the walk pathways. There's the main one with a person in it who will answer your questions and help you out. There's the second building that has a mini information museum.

It was an enjoyable walk. Though we went on a day that was cloudy, rainy, and super windy. Would have been better if there was sun and less wind.

Check the weather before you come here.

Both my lovely wife Pat and I enjoyed walking amongst this amazing sand dune.
The well-built boardwalks were a pleasure to walk along and the views were fantastic.
Hope this place continues to exist for many more years.
Both our dogs would have enjoyed it, but dogs are not allowed on the dune. We understand they have a dog service (dog sitting), but we opted to leave our 2 in the vehicle since it was perfect weather for it (not too hot and not too cool).

This is a great place to go when you want to explore different ecosystems. There's the beach, boardwalk, forest, open land. The park is free with free parking across the road. The boardwalk would probably take 10-15min one way. There's also a viewpoint booth on an upper level, and a building with various types of information on the area and history.
