Located in southeastern New Brunswick, Moncton is one of the premier tourist destinations in Atlantic Canada. Moncton traces its Acadian heritage back to the 1600s, and you'll encounter a legacy of pride and the famous east coast Canada friendliness in every person you meet. Take in a show at the Capitol Theatre, recently restored to its original 1922 elegance. Baffle your senses at Magnetic Hill, Canada's third most visited tourist attraction; just take your foot off the break and sit back as your car coasts uphill. Go on a shopping spree in the Moncton Market, where fresh produce, baking and crafts are always on sale. And for a truly remarkable experience, ride the tidal bore caused by the mammoth Bay of Fundy tides. As the tide rises, the calm waters of the Petitcodiac River boil and reverse in a giant wave that raises the water level 25 feet (7.5 m)! For a slightly quieter time, get in touch with the region's history at one of Moncton's museums, or get in touch with your swing at one of the city's seven golf courses. And don't miss the chance to take a dip in the warmest waters north of Virginia on Moncton's miles of golden beaches.
