Parlee Beach Provincial Park

Parlee Beach Provincial Park is a seaside recreation area on the New Brunswick coast featuring a wide sandy beach and swimming facilities. The park includes changing rooms, showers, restaurants, and extensive parking for visitors.

The beach was developed in 1916 as a provincial recreation project and later named after T. Babbitt Parlee, a Minister of Municipal Affairs. Its creation reflects the early effort to provide public beach access for coastal communities.

The beach serves as a gathering spot where people from the region and visitors share the maritime way of life along the Atlantic coast. Families and friends spend their time together in the water and on the sand.

The beach is best visited during the warmer months from June to September when the water is most pleasant for swimming. Arriving early on weekends and holidays is wise, as the park attracts many visitors during peak times.

The water here is the warmest saltwater location along Canada's entire Atlantic coast. This unusual warmth makes swimming particularly enjoyable compared to other coastal areas in the region.
