Located on the east coast of Canada and one of four maritime provinces that comprise Atlantic Canada, New Brunswick is a destination of varied landscapes, genuine down-home hospitality and distinctive cultures shaped by history and tradition. Whether visitors are seeking a lively urban experience, a coastal adventure, a mountain-top journey or a leisurely tour along winding river valleys, the province has it all. Accommodations are as diverse as New Brunswick's recreational opportunities and range from full-service resort hotels to cosy, historic bed and breakfasts to family-friendly campgrounds.
RIVER VALLEY SCENIC DRIVE
Extending along the western section of the province and featuring the impressive 400-kilometre-long (248 mi) St. John River at its core, this scenic and diverse region is replete with unique attractions, events and destinations. Stretching south through communities like Edmundston, Grand Falls, the provincial capital of Fredericton, the port of Saint John and pastoral Sussex, the River Valley Scenic Drive passes many lodgings and amenities along the way. In the larger centres of Fredericton and Saint John, a full selection of top-notch accommodations await, including luxuriously appointed hotels, quaint history-filled inns, bed and breakfasts, and budget- and kid-friendly chain-brand hotels and motels. The towns and villages that dot the region offer their own brand of lodging choices, also ranging from familiar hotel chains to family-run motels offering basic to standard amenities. Natural wonders, freshwater beaches and parks adorn the region, resulting in a great selection of seasonal campgrounds. De la Republique Provincial Park, located near Edmunston, and Mactaquac Provincial Park near Fredericton are two outstanding camping choices, offering exceptional amenities with special appeal for families and RV enthusiasts.
APPALACHIAN RANGE ROUTE
Featuring New Brunswick's highest mountain peak, the Appalachian Range Route is located in the north-western area of the province and includes impressive destinations like Mount Carleton, the province's maple capital of Saint-Quentin and the majestic Restigouche River in Campbellton. In the mountainous wilderness regions of and surrounding Mount Carleton Provincial Park, visitors can expect lodging choices to be of the camping, backcountry cabin and lodge-style variety, while the communities of Dalhousie and Campbellton offer full-service hotels, bed and breakfasts and even budget-friendly hostels.
FUNDY COASTAL DRIVE
Boasting the world's highest tides, the Bay of Fundy, located along the southern shores of the province, is not only a marine wonder but a destination of the highest calibre; hiking, whale watching, kayaking, culinary adventures, relaxing spa getaways and kid-centred amusements all await visitors in the Fundy Coastal Drive region. While primarily a nature paradise dotted with quaint coastal communities, a few urban centres such as the bustling municipalities of Moncton and Dieppe offer an impressive range of accommodation choices, including a casino resort, lavish downtown hotels, plentiful mid-range properties and an all-in-one hotel and amusement park complex. Small-scale motels and bed and breakfasts are typical options in the towns and villages along the route, including the charming seaside communities of Alma and St. Martins. The resort community of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, with its historic downtown core, world-class golf course and attractive seaside atmosphere, offers ample lodging choices to suit any need; visitors can live it up at the lavish Fairmont Algonquin Hotel or cozy up in a seaside cottage, heritage inn or well-appointed bed and breakfast. The coastal islands of Grand Manan, Campobello and Deer Island offer their own distinctive maritime experiences, including an abundance of ocean-side vacation rentals, cabins, cottages and chalets.
ACADIAN COASTAL DRIVE
A rich francophone culture, long stretches of sandy beaches and delectable seafood are highlights of a visit to the Acadian Coast, which spans the eastern shores of New Brunswick, from the Baie de Chaleur down to the south-eastern tip of the province. Visitors can immerse themselves in the region's colourful past at historic and interpretive centres that dot the route, including standout sites in the vibrant Acadian villages of Bouctouche and Caraquet. Small-scale hotels and motels, beach-front vacation properties, cottage rentals and bed and breakfasts are most plentiful along the route, with camping being a prime choice from May to September. The wave-swept shores of coastal retreats Miscou Island and Lameque—known for world-class kite surfing—appeal to solitude seekers and adrenaline junkies alike. Beach-side campsites and cottage rentals are good choices for visitors to these remote yet strikingly beautiful locales. Bathurst, the largest centre along the route, offers a good mix of hotels and beach-front vacation rentals and easy access to all-season wilderness accommodations.
MIRAMICHI RIVER ROUTE
The salmon-rich waters of the grand Miramichi River have made the region a top destination for anglers the world over.

Festivals, world-class attractions, a distinctive way of life and outdoor recreation appeal to visitors of the region, who flock to the river for one-of-a-kind stays in full-service adventure lodges and cabins along the river valley. The village of Blackville, known for its hunting, fishing and all-season recreational opportunities, offers lodging in traditional outfitters' lodges, wilderness retreats and cabins.
