Caraquet is a seaside community situated in Gloucester County, along the shores of Chaleur Bay. The first inhabitants of the land here were the Mi'kmaq, who aptly named the community after its two intersecting rivers. The first European settler to Caraquet was Gabriel Giraud, who eventually married a Mi'kmaq woman. The community was founded in 1730, but was not incorporated until 1961. The main industries in Caraquet pertain to fishing and tourism. Caraquet is 255 km (158.4 mi.) north of Moncton, traveling mostly along the eastern coastline.

A historical village in Caraquet acts as a depiction of life in the eighteenth century in Caraquet, and offers interpreters and insight into the Acadian lifestyle at that point in time. As well, at the entrance to the historical village is an Acadian Wax Museum, home to nearly a hundred different figurines. The local bay has been considered as one of the most beautiful bays in the world, and features scenic beaches, fishing areas and so much more. Caraquet offers fine dining, kayaking, canoeing, shopping, mini-golf, a tourist centre, fishing trips, a vast history and so much more.

Caraquet accommodations include hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds.
