Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shinning.

Today, we continued up the Acadian Coastal Drive and decided to check out the Acadian Isles and go to the tip of New Brunswick. We were just at the “edge of New Brunswick” so why not the tip as our next stop? Miscou Island is that tip!
Definitely a road less traveled, but also definitely worth the drive. We found a small, quaint campground “Camping la Vague”, basically right on the beach. Now we know that people will boon-dock in the area around the lighthouse. But today we decided to support the local economy. Might have something to do with the fact we needed to hook up to electricity for the night!
A walk on the beach with views of the windswept coastline, checking out the drift wood, and looking for beach glass along the shore. Watching the sunset and listening to the waves wash up on the shoreline at high tide made for a perfect evening. A trip to the island is not complete without seeing the lighthouse. Isn’t a lighthouse the icon of a coastal drive?
