Bouctouche Dunes is a 12 km sand dune that extends out into the ocean and surrounds Bouctouche Bay. There is an Eco-Centre and a lookout tower at the beginning of the dunes. Previous to December 2010 there was also a 2 km boardwalk that started at the Eco-Centre and followed the Dunes. In December 2010 a storm surge destroyed about half of the boardwalk. The boardwalk was rebuilt to only half its original length. This wasn't the first time the boardwalk has been damaged by storm surges.

The Irving Eco-Centre's mission is to protect the Bouctouche Dune, one of New Brunswick's longest sand dunes, and the rare plants and wildlife that live here.
Nature Centre like none other!!! Take the scenic Acadian Coastal ride to this destination. Pack a lunch and stay the day! Beautiful beach and board walk to enjoy :)
La dune de Bouctouche was developed by J.D. Irving, Limited (JDI) to preserve and restore one of the few remaining great sand dunes on the northeastern coastline of North America. Located on the Northumberland Strait of New Brunswick, just minutes north of the town of Bouctouche. Long boardwalk, beautiful white sand beach, good swimming.
