The city
Largest city in New Brunswick and gateway to the Bay of Fundy, bilingual with a strong Acadian presence. On the Petitcodiac River the tide rises like a wave, visible from Bore Park. Just outside the city is Magnetic Hill, and Parlee Beach in Shediac is about 25 km away.

The local experience
A slope at Moncton’s north exit where, by optical illusion, a car in neutral seems to roll uphill by itself.
Small riverside park on the Petitcodiac River in downtown Moncton, from where you can see the bore: the wave that travels up the river when the Bay of Fundy tide comes in.
Sandy beach of Parlee Beach Provincial Park in Shediac on the Northumberland Strait, known for relatively mild waters in summer.
