Reviews of Parlee Beach Provincial Park (Park)

Edwin Trujillo

Beautiful place, free parking. There are lifeguard if you go with your children. The sea isn't very deep.

Christopher Jackson

Beautiful sandy beach with warm water. Great for swimming, boating, and summertime fun / relaxation.

Jodi Wilks-Butters

What a gem! Crystal clear water, so many hermit crabs and shells to observe and water at 19°C on July 18. Food at the canteens was yummy too!

Chris Yuill

We came after 5 to avoid the crowds. The tide had just come in and the water was crystal clear. A short visit, but long enough to know we will come back. Parking rates when in force are around $17 per day.

Kiersten F

Beautiful white sand beach with dunes. Pros: - Almost empty in mid-September - Beautiful rocks, dunes, shells, etc. - Very walkable, with absolutely beautiful scenery - Free to access Cons: - None!

Daniel Tavares

Beautiful beach, does have area for dogs despite what some say. Got confirmation from staff.

Ian Ruthven

Nice beach with a good wide area and shallow water. Not busy the day we went but usually much more packed. Probably the "must go to" beach in Shediac.

Stefan Tudor

Amazing place, but very crowded in the summer since it's so small

Kris Mundy

What a beautiful beach! Water was warm, shallow and you walk out to sand bars and collect little hermit crabs lol. Loved it here and will definitely come back when visiting New Brunswick. Now onto another one of MANY beaches in and around New Brunswick.

Darren

It was nice, Iwent in the morning last Monday. Water was too cold through and its bateria levels were to high so you could not swim in it. The one thing that annoys me is that it isn't posted at the entrance about water contamination levels until you pay, park, and walk to the beach. A tad unethical for a provincial park. Next time I will check online.

Anuj Sood

Parking fee of $13 Long Beach of fine sand. Ideal for a long walk on the beach. Water was cold in August.

Stuart Bowland

Parking bicycles was a problem. Some walkways were closed. Beach was nice. Water was shallow. It was great for kids. You have to pay for parking, even if you have a trailer spot on the park.

SHUBHAM MODI

Its a good place. Also well maintained. Enjoyed it. Best time to visit is early mornings. Big parking lot and less traffic.

Joyce Sonier

This is a clean, beautiful beach. Maintained very well and has many lifeguards. You can walk a good distance out into the water waist deep. The only not so good about this beach is that it can get really windy like your sitting in a sand storm, LOL.

Kamilla Petrosyan

Perfect beach with all the amenities. The shower os 1 $ for 5 minutes. There is a free parking not too far from the beach.

Daniel S.

I have visited the place in a windy day in April. Not much to see, but kids had enough reasons to run and have fun nevertheless. I will definitely come back again, trying to find the fun in this specific place.

Elle Sing

A great place to visit with the family and friends. Plenty of lifeguards if you're swimming in the ocean. There are playgrounds and plenty of open grass space to play volleyball or spike ball. 13$/day for parking but worth it. There are restaurants and so much to do here

Bernie Mac

13 bucks to park your car for the whole day. Awesome white sand, warm salt water! Has outdoor showers and changing rooms . Good place to spend a hot day

Zak Wolf

One of the best sandy beaches of New Brunswick

Ken Barr

Busy Beach as any pics will show. Great amenadies and shallow warm sea water make this beach worth it.

WolfKing02

Weather was a bit cold but the beach has no control over that. My only complaint and this goes for all NB Provincial Parks is you have to pay to park.

MARIA THERESA D'ALMEIDA GOUVEIA

Nice beach but you have to pay and bring your own lunch because hot dogs at 8-9$ is making fun of people. Even if it's home grown doesn't make sense that you have to pay more.

michael weston

Awesome place to watch the sun set. Great place to take children.

Tony Bercowski

I rate the Parlee Beach a 5 star review. I rate the beaches management a 1 star. Average equals 3 stars at no fault to the beach. We were told that there is a dog park area but all we saw were "no dogs" signage. Wife saw in the website that there are dogs allowed to the right of the Boardwalk. Looking out, past the "no dogs" signage, we saw other people with dogs. We joined the group. While making our way to the beach, a worker was changing the sign to read that the water was unsafe. Come noon, we go down to where food is served and there is actually a sign stating that dogs are allowed. Signage on their food vending area lets us know it is not open until 3pm.???? Parking was confusing. Two lanes in but only one lane is for paying customers while the other is for ticket holders, we presumed. Signage would help. Once on the beach, we enjoyed seeing how populated it was and how far out people could go before the water seemed to get deep. Loved the beach but not the way it is being run. More sunny days ahead we hope.

Linda Berry

Beautiful beach...lots of sand and places to change and clean up after a day at the beach. There are lifeguards on duty!

PHIL MACKINNON

east coast hospitality is in abundance... with a view of what should be called a natural wonder. dont forget to take the kayak tour when the tide is in.

Lilian Mara

No dogs allowed. We paid 13 cad to stay in the grass, you can't even see the sea with a dog.

Alla Toronto

Great place to spend the day and just enjoy life!

Korry Hill

Nice beach! Have to come back when it's open. Was a gorgeous sunset at it tho!

Vincent Nicolas Cicciu

Nicest Beach of NB. CLEAN and accessible. Have showers. Cheap entry price

Ragul K. P. Mohan

Nice beach. I went for a drive on a rainy day, nevertheless it was worth it. Loved the view.

Natalie Amies

Warmest ocean water I've ever felt! Clean, well kept and lots of lifeguards on duty! Amazing spot

Carrie P

Tide was out so could see crabs and clams. Water was clear and u could walk out far. Nice and clean

Edward Bowron

This beach is frequently closed for swimming for poor water quality. The info is on thr government website but at the beach there is no water quality indicator. Avoid this beach until they get serious about cleaning it up.

Vitalii Rykunov

This place is beautiful whether it is summer or already fall

Colin Fisher

Too many people. Nice but not amazing. Sorry NB, I felt your "best beach" was a tad overrated. Found heaps of better beaches in NS with half the people.

Maria Pachon

The ocean here has beautiful colors, is a great place to swim in a hot summer, take a sunbath or just walk and admire the colors.

Priscilla Le Breton

It's a great beach for little ones (anyone really????). Lots of shallow water. It's warmer water which is probably from the shallow water.

Pedro da Fonte

Good place to chill and relax. It is really nice to feel the sand in your feet.

Rachel M

It's a must any time of the year. Beautiful and well kept. Everytime we are in NB we go.

Mythili Manoharan

Warmest salt water beach in Canada. Really good atmosphere and clean.

Steven Travis Auld

Long spacious sandy beach great for walking running or relaxing. Great sunrises. When I was there last the boardwalks were disconnected. Hopefully will be rebuilt soon.

Roman Ilin

Beautiful place to visit. Definitely recommend.

Muyiwa Giwa

I love everything about this place. Best fun time spent with family and friends. Looking forward to my next trip.

James Reed

Great beach with an awesome resturant and entertainment

Ian McGregor

A jewel in Atlantic Canada. Clean, beautiful and relaxing. A must visit for everyone!

This is my favourite beach in Canada. I am slightly biased as I have spent many summers here throughout my life. The water is the warmest water north of The Carolina’s. It’s because the water is part of the Northumberland Straight and it is shallow with lots of sandbars. Because of this, it’s a great beach for young kids. The water is usually calm unless there is an impending storm. There are pockets of water for them to play in and perfect sand for building castles and no rocks. The beach is cleaned every morning also. Some summers you can even do yoga on the beach. There are two beach houses with showers and a large restaurant and a small beach shop for towels and beach accessories. There are volley ball courts and a playground. This is a Provincial Park. There are nearby bike and walking trails that you can walk all the way to Shediac or you can walk along the beach to the Point du Chêne wharf.

Faizal Pathan

The best beach to hangout in summer times. You can rent a boat to a hang of the sea it has small ports for yachts also.

Mo Cons

A beautiful beach with beautiful soft sand. I wish the weather was a bit warmer to go for a swim, I can imagine how nice it would be swim there. Not as many people there, but I reckon due to it being at the end of the summer. It's a huge beach with lots of space, I wonder how it looks in the heat of the summer with a lot of beach goers! The facilities look clean, the camping is okay. We didn't have much privacy. On one lot they fit four campers, and there is little to no privacy. There are a lot of RVs and trailers here, but it's OK for pitching tent. If we go back, it would be for a swim!

Mitchell Smith

The beach is truly amazing. The beach is graded which leaves it feeling smooth and pristine. I recommend visiting in the morning/afternoon and again in the evening to experience the beach and its treasures at high and low tide. 100% recommend.

Manjinder Singh

One of north America’s finest and Canada’s warmest beach. It got long stretch of sand beach, large safe swimming area. Dedicated kayaking area. Life guards on duty for peak times. Nearby restaurants, motels available. It got great parking space too.

Starleana Rose

1st time here. Will definitely go again. You can watch the sail boats as you relax by the beach, listen to the waves come in and the hustle and bustle of people having fun. Parking is 13.00 a vehicle. So pack those people in your car to save money;)

Steve Carter

Canada's warmest saltwater! Washrooms and showers at either end of the beach. Lifeguards.. have a great day at the beach.

Bobby SHARKS

The beach was so amazing and we'll taking care . Water was clean and perfect for swimming in. The waves are great for families with small children. And down the beach a bit rough for older kids. 13 dollars for a car load is well worth it to help keep this beach beautiful and we'll maintained.

Nelson Neves

Great beach, safe, lifeguards, toilets lots of parking 13$ in 2021, worth visiting.

Nikhil Tailor

Best place to chillout in summer nearby moncton city. Must visit place in summer. STRONGLY RECOMMEND

alzira sterque

It was such a surprise to know a beach like that. The city is also a wonderful place.

Rachel LeBlanc

It was certainly a beautiful day. 27° Celsius on September 22nd, is very unusual but amazing.

Patrick Shearing

Incredible beach. New Brunswick at it's finest. The pearl of Shediac. Spent the day swimming and examining sea life. Loved it. Kids had a blast. Water was warm. Sign said not suitable for swimming. We were fine after swimming.

IamSRayhan

The mighty Atlantic Ocean has landed at this beautiful beach ⛱. Very carefully planned for people's safety and always volunteers monitored the situations. Safe for kids, older generation and younger as well. Everyone can have a great day at this beach ⛱ swimming, playing and beating. Not very far from moncton city only takes 20 minutes to drive. You can have a quality time with your friends and family ????.

Marc Pelletier

Always a good time at Parlee Beach.

Avery Butters

Nice beach, not too busy and there were public washrooms and outdoor showers, as well as canteens with food, beverages, and ice cream for sale. Soft sand, and nice water. Lots of crabs ????

David Lougheed

One of the nicest beaches in all of the East Coast. Relatively warm water is a bonus.

Danny Dean

Clean and friendly The Bestest! Dannydean! Merci/Thank-you

Ahmed Nizami

Amazing warm beach, great for family with kids. Has rest rooms, and kids play area incase your child isn't in the mood for the beach

Jordan McWilliams

Absolutely gorgeous beach. The sand is incredible. The water was warm.. Definitely worth the trip there.

Zoe Yuill

busy depending on the time of day but a beautiful beach and super warm water

Pat Huber

Our favorite beach! Lots of parking, nice sand, not too far to walk from parking to beach areas. Food and even alcohol licensed at the outdoor restaurant. Lifeguarded and great for kids!

Harmony Yuill

Beautiful sandy beach, shallow clear water. Went in the early evening so most of the crowds had left.

Rare Plant Care Canada Inc.

Always a great place to bring the kids. We go very regularly.

Gail Burton

Beautiful beach...water warm..sand hot on the toes

Kirkland VanHattem (DusWinburn)

Beach wasn't too bad, but paying to get in and the wildly overcrowded beach aren't worth it.

Rebecca S

So neat to walk on the ocean floor after the tide has gone out. This is a well kept beach with a beautiful view of the sunset with a lighthouse in the distance. So glad we went!

Wayne Briggs

Nice beach. $13 parking. Change rooms closed due to covid. Small washroom 2 toilets 1 broken. Would be very problematic if busy.

Mishee Mee

We camped here 2 nights and loved it... clean washrooms and nice tent sites. Also very close to the warmest salt water beach in Canada win win... and the beach... just wow.. I'll be back for sure

Cynthia Lachance

As advertised in all the brochures about New Brunswick, the water temperature really is the warmest north of Virginia! We walked there because we stayed at a nearby cottage; cannot give daily parking rates. All the features of a well-maintained provincial park: 4 lifeguard and first aid stations, plentiful washroom and changing rooms, clean beach. Extensive trailer/RV/tent setup close by. Well-stocked convenience store less than 1/2 mile away.

Nishant Gupta

The experience of Parlee Beach was multifold for it felt after a while a pre-covid Era. Amazing beach. Really clean. Life guards all around. It's just a happy place to relax for all age group.. our family's no. 1 choice Beach for a reason :)

Jacqui and Mark Wallace

Beautiful beach. Warmest water I've swam it.

Zackary Fraser

Paid parking, large beach, shallow for a ways at high tide. Quite full on a hot day but site has changing rooms and washroom as well as a canteen. Several life guards on duty too.

Glenn Feltmate

Crowded but not crazy. Water was warm. Never been disappointed, but always check before going to be sure access to the water is not closed.

Corey Bisson

Beautiful beach, the water is so nice and clean and the views are amazing

Juan Bueckert

Pearly Beach provincial park is a very good place it is nice and shallowater it's not too crowded check it out

Shelley Taylor

I had a fantastic day here. 5 stars are for the scenery and popularity. Water quality is not great but I understand effort is underway to make it better. The restaurant at location is mediocre...great place to sit and have a cold one. I'll be coming back!

Suresh C

Excellent beach with low tide.. very calm and with nice viewpoints

steve B

For somewhere other than the Caribbean this was an awesome beach and very large!!! We walked 15 mins one direction and turned around before coming to the end!! The sand was very fine and beautiful! The color was in between bright cream( like Caribbean sand) and gray.

Annie Dunn

Clean beach, shallow warm waters. Perfect for kids to play and parents to relax.

Tanveer Behniwal

My favourite beach that’s so close to Moncton. Love it in summer and winter both.

Erdem Koksal

We were met upon arrival by Bryan and his wife. The nicest people. We were their first customers. I have to tell you they had everything organized and it was so clean!Just enough space to cook and relax when you are not relaxing at the beach.This is the cutest cottage for a couple or small family. Decorated classy but relaxing. Only a five minute walk to the beautiful beach. If there wasn't rain in the forcast we would have stayed longer. If you forget anything like a bathing suit as i did..its only a few minutes drive to pick anything up. Definitely much more then i had expected for the price. We will be coming back again next year for sure. Enjoy..we sure did!!

Emmylou Logue

Such a nice sandy beach.we got beautiful weather the day we went It's quite shallow until far out so great for kids. good enough to bring a boogy board and catch the waves.tons of little crabs that kept the kids entertained for hours ????

Susan Peterson

Love it hear will be back
