Port Elgin sits where the Gaspereau River meets Baie Verte, a coastal community known for warm waters, wide skies, and easy connections. At the Port Elgin rotary, routes lead to the Confederation Bridge and day trips to Moncton, the beaches of Shediac, and the galleries and cafés of Sackville. Nature lovers can watch shorebirds and explore boardwalks at the nearby Cape Jourimain Nature Centre, or picnic and swim at Murray Beach Provincial Park, two of the most scenic corners of the Northumberland Strait.
Families appreciate the community’s small‑scale pace and access to education through the Anglophone East School District. High school students typically attend Tantramar Regional High in Sackville, and younger learners benefit from close-knit classrooms in the district’s surrounding schools. With essentials close at hand and larger retail, healthcare, and cultural options a short drive away, daily life is streamlined. Historic streets, coastal farms, and fishing wharves add a sense of continuity, while proximity to Westmorland County services supports newcomers settling in.
Whether you’re drawn by quiet beaches, birding and kayaking, or a practical commute to regional employers, Port Elgin offers an appealing balance of seaside calm and everyday convenience.
