Parlee Beach Provincial Park, Provincial park with beach in Pointe-du-Chêne, Canada.
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 Northumberland Strait is marketed as having some of the warmest ocean waters on the east coast of North America north of Virginia. The park's own history includes a 1989 concert by The Beach Boys on a mowed green space between Main Street and the beach, drawing about 20,000 fans.
