Cap-Acadie is a town in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms.
It is located on the Northumberland Strait approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Moncton. Approximately 88% of its residents are Francophone.
Cap-Acadie was incorporated on January 1, 2023 via the amalgamation of the former rural community of Beaubassin East and the former village of Cap-Pélé.[1]
Cap-Acadie is home to the well known Aboiteau Beach that stretches out for approximately 2.5 kilometres (1½ miles), located inside Aboiteau Park. The beachside complex offers many services including a licensed restaurant with seafood and bar service, a gift shop and a patio overlooking the strait.
