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.

Situated in the village of Belliveau Cove, the park is officially known as Parc Joseph-et-Marie-Dugas. The park features a 5-km (3-mi) coastal walking trail, and a lighthouse.

Closed in 2022.

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

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.
