See & Do

Mavillette Beach Provincial , located two kilometres from the Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse Park, is a 1.5 km long sandy beach backed by fragile marram grass-covered dunes protected by boardwalks.

The Acadians (and the Mi’kmaq before them) have been expertly digging delicious clams along the tide-washed shores of Saint Mary’s Bay for centuries.

Take a hike on approximately 5 km of looping, easy to walk gravel trails that extend from Belliveau Cove Wharf to Major’s Point. Stroll past shingle beaches, salt marshes teeming with wildlife, as well as Clare’s first Acadian cemetery.

Clare’s newest park offers visitors panoramic views of dramatic cliffs and breathtaking sunsets over Saint Mary’s Bay and the Gulf of Maine.

Try paddleboarding ($25) with Nancy, at Smugglers Cove Provincial Park during high tide.
