Tidal Bore Park
The tourist literature talks up the twice-daily return of the waters of the tidal Petitcodiac River. In theory, the tide comes in as one solid wave, unfurled like a carpet across the muddy riverbed in one dramatic gesture. As the tide advances up the narrowing bay it starts to build up on itself, pushed from behind by the powerful tides in the Bay of Fundy, the world's highest. The height of this oncoming rush can allegedly vary from just a few centimeters to about 1m. In reality, it usually just looks like a big mud seep, and well…boring. The spoiler is the causeway that was built across the Petitcodiac in the 1980s, which the government pledged, in 2007, to remove.

Dieppe Farmers' Market
The weekly Dieppe Farmers' Market is a great place to get a taste – literally – of New Brunswick's vibrant Acadian culture. Stalls overflow with locally-made cheeses, cottage wines and homemade preserves as well as Acadian dishes such as tortière, chicken fricot and rabbit pie. Nibble sweet pastries such as plogues and guaffres while browsing the craft stalls. To get there from downtown, head 2km east on Main St, which becomes Champlain, to Acadie Ave. Look for the yellow roof.

Calactus
Shangri-la for vegetarians! Enjoy the freedom to order anything off the Mexican, Indian, Middle eastern-influenced menu. Try the mushroom cannelloni – pasta filled with portobello mushrooms and tofu cream smothered in tomato, feta and gouda cheese, baked and served with a salad. The natural wood, warm earth colors and burbling fountain create a soothing atmosphere.

At this stylish bistro, crepes are the house specialty, whipped up in the open stainless steel kitchen and served at redwood and zebra print banquettes or on the inviting screened-in porch. Alternatively, feast on the wild mushroom and basil pizza with a leafy salad.
