Welcome to the Wild Side of the Bridge

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre was created to protect and preserve the wild flora and fauna of this area of the Maritime coast. Unique among Canada's parks, it offers state of the art ecosensitive technologies, allowing visitors unparallelled easy access to the wild without disturbing or damaging the natural environment. The Cape Jourimain Nature Centre provides educational programs and tours to thousands of visitors every year. Not a sprawling park but rather a hidden jewel of trails, beaches and spectacular scenery, Cape Jourimain allows visitors to experience the ocean and coastal forests and marshes in a new way. Undeveloped, undisturbed, peace-filled and beautiful.

Events at Cape Jourimain

Through the summer months, Cape Jourimain hums with activity, from the daily educational programs to the Eco Arts Festival to lunches and dinners at the Iceboat Landing Restaurant. The Exhibit Hall with its interactive displays showcases the natural and human history of the area, while the four-storey observation tower allows for a view of the area for kilometres in every direction. Our Kids Day Camp gives kids an opportunity to learn and explore the natural and creative features of Cape Jourimain.
