New River Beach Provincial Park is at 78 New River Beach Road on the Bay of Fundy coast. NB Parks describes it as a place to camp, see coastal islands, kayak, explore beaches and coastal trails, and notice the Bay of Fundy's high-tide landscape.
This park is especially strong for visitors who like tide pools, shore life, and coastal trails in the same campground trip. The official page mentions crabs, periwinkles, whelks, starfish, gulls, eider ducks, cormorants, offshore islands, fishing boats, and wildlife, while reminding visitors to leave shoreline life and habitat as they found them.
The trail system adds natural-history detail beyond the beach. NB Parks points to Barnaby Head cliffs, a bog boardwalk, bug-eating plants, Labrador tea, sundews, 90-year-old dwarfed black spruce, Chitticks Beach, New River Island viewpoints, rocky cliffs, sea urchins, and rock crabs.
The campground offers 99 campsites, 4 rustic shelters, Ch-A-lets, forested sites, scenic coastal nature trails, a picnic area, and a tidal beach. Leashed pets are welcome in the campground, but the official page says pets are not permitted on the beach.
That conservation reminder belongs in the plan, especially with children exploring pools.
Plan around camping, beach time, tidal-pool exploring, kayaking, Barnaby Head, Chitticks Beach, bog walks, playgrounds, volleyball, the annual sand sculpture competition, and meals at New River Take Out.
Confirm reservations, tide timing, unsupervised beach conditions, pet rules, water safety, trail status, restaurant hours, event dates, maps, weather, and NB Parks advisories before travelling.
