Halte Nautique Du Port De Caraquet

Halte Nautique Du Port De Caraquet, situated at 31 Avenue du Carrefour in Caraquet, New Brunswick, stands as a testament to the region’s rich maritime history. This marina is located in one of Canada’s oldest French settlements, founded around 1760 by shipwrecked French seamen.

Perched on the banks of Caraquet Bay, which opens into the expansive Chaleur Bay, the marina offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities. The surrounding landscape, marked by slopes and cliffs, gives way to a thin strip of lowlands where the Petite Rivière Caraquet and nearby streams meet the bay, creating a natural and strategic harbor.

Visitors to Halte Nautique Du Port De Caraquet can immerse themselves in Acadian culture, explore the nearby Acadian Museum, and experience the annual blessing of the fleet. The marina serves as a welcoming base for those exploring the maritime heritage and natural beauty of this historic port town.
