Giant Lobster

Giant Lobster, Shediac

 cpm440vee Says:  The main attraction in Shediac is the giant lobster statue. You can climb it and ride it if you want but just don't fall off. I saw lots of parents yelling at their kids to be careful. Recently, this statue even made it to a GM car commercial along with a number of other... 

Sandspit

Sandspit, Shediac

Go biking!!!, Shediac

Hotel Shediac

Hotel Shediac, Shediac

 marcoparco Says:  The Hotel Shediac, as you can see, is an old historic Hotel. Unfortunately since May/02 it has been closed. The place is getting somewhat rundown which is pretty discouraging. It would be a great restoration project but I can only imagine how much that would cost.

Capt's Dan's

Captain Dan's seems to be the spot to go on a Saturday night for a drink with friends. Although I did not a fancy a visit I did walk by on a Sunday night and it seemed the people were having a blast. So go to Captain Dan's if you want to smell the salt water blow by as you enjoy your cold beer. I don't know how I missed it this time, but i will venture a visit next trip for sure! They also have live entertainment each night of the week!
Went to Captains dan's and it is an alright place. I didn't go when it was popular tourist season and so there wasn't much hapening. Hopefully be a little better next time.

Dress Code: Jeans, Biking Chaps, bikini......anything really...come on it's Shediac!

Island Beach

Island Beach is a store with all your beach needs. I strongly reccomend bringing your beach gear since outfits like this charge a fortune for items. Expect to pay 12$ for a small bottle of sun tan lotion if you run out!

What to pay: Overpriced

Parlee Beach at 9.30AM...., Shediac

 Simonneeddy Says:  Parlee Beach at 9.30AM. Deserted. We were the only ones there but more soon arrived. Because we were so early we got in free. 

Parlee Beach

Parlee Beach, Shediac

 Simonneeddy Says:  Swimming and sunning here is a great joy. The beach is all sand and to swim or just get wet you can walk out a long way. There are lots of life guards on duty and a safe area is plainly marked with buoys.
