Popular Things To Do | Other Things To Do Tips | All Tips (25) A definate trip to the Hopewell Rocks is worth the trip. These rocks are formed from the ocean and look like huge flower pots. You can walk down and stroll the beach but when the tide starts to come in leave quickly. This area is one of the largest tides and fastest tides in the world. You are touring and walking on the ocean floor at all times and you can also tour the caves.
Its so very pituresque and the sea salt air with the breeze makes it worthwhile on a very hot day. Leave a Comment Directions: Hopewell Rocks is about 20 minutes outside Moncton by travelling across the bridge to Riverview and touring the lovely scenery on your way.

Massive columns of rock, wearing wigs of gnarled evergreens, stand on absurdly narrow stems of stone. Carved by the mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy, these natural sculptures are nicknamed the 'flowerpot rocks.' During low tide, visitors can pick their way down to the beach and explore rocky columns, caves and crevices. At high tide, the Bay rises to fill the caves and turns the 'flowerpots' into rocky islands! The best time to visit the park is three hours before until three hours after low tide.
Really something to see!! Leave a Comment Directions: Approximately 30 minutes south of Moncton on Rte 114

Parlee Beach near Shediac is one of the provinces' most popular bathing areas.
I wonder if this magnificent watch tower is still here. Isn't it quaint? Leave a Comment Directions: Parlee Beach is on the east coast, near Shediac, which is about 16 miles northeast of Moncton.

Eddie (Simonneeddy sent me this photo that he took of two watchtowers at Shediac. But on closer observation neither appear to be the one I picture above. So, I still wonder if it is on he beach, or has it been moved? Anyway, thanks Eddy, for the update.
Simmonneeddy's Moncton page is worthy of a visit, if you happen to be on this page, so just cick this link and explore this location in great detail:

The New Brunswick scene offers natural phenomena found nowhere else in the world. Probably the most intriguing is the famed Magnetic Hill, near Moncton, where to your disbelieving eyes, your car appears to coast upthill!.
Magnetic Hill perplexes and entertains thousands of visitors, but I don't expect you will see these now 'classic' cars there now The notice in the picture reads:
'Magnetic Hill. To appreciate this phenomenon proceed to spot indicated by white post, turn off motor, release brakes'. Leave a Comment Directions: Magnetic Hill is just north of Moncton, but I'm not sure of the exact route location.

If you're wondering where to buy fresh bread, pastries, good cheese, vegetables and imported foods (or even local crafts), head to Moncton's farmers' markets. There are 2 of them that are worth the detour, both open on Saturday morning roughly between 7:30 am and noon: the oldest and most central one (one block down from Main St towards the river, between Robinson and Lutz St) is housed in a colourful building and is a popular socializing spot on Saturday mornings (often jam packed as a result!) whose atmosphere is usually livened up by musicians. You'll mostly find a lot of ready-to-eat-on-the-spot foods, coffee, pastries, crafts and a small selection of vegetables/fruits and meat.
The Dieppe market (corner of Amirault and Gauvin Streets in Dieppe) is also a great bussling spot on Saturday mornings. This market located in the predominantly french speaking town of Dieppe is popular with Acadians and great if you're looking to do some real grocery shopping. There is an awesome cheese counter which sells cheeses from NB, Quebec and France among other places - not to be missed if you're a cheese lover. They also have a selection of fine foods such as paté de fois gras, duck and lamb meats. You'll also find a large selection of pastries, some imported foods from the middle-east, fresh fish, meats (including rabbit) and some vegetables and fruits. There is a pleasant coffee area upstairs with 2 coffee shops that both sell very good espresso (head to the one at the back to practice your spanish with the owner who is peruvian). Directions: Downtown Moncton and "downtown" Dieppe

It used to be free, but it's still probably worth the $2 or whatever they charge now. See your car roll backwards, uphill, in neutral! See water run uphill!

The Acadians that are found in Louisiana where once French residents of this area. The entire French colonies were deported by the Loyalist of the Crown of England to different locations about the world only to return. The University of Moncton has a museum that will take about one hour to visit.
