Rivière-Nouvelle rewards residents with a front-row seat to the meeting of river and sea, where the Nouvelle River flows into Chaleur Bay and seasons are measured in salmon runs, beach sunsets, and crisp coastal air. Anglers and paddlers frequent the renowned Zec de la rivière Nouvelle, and science lovers head a few minutes east to Nouvelle for the UNESCO-listed Parc national de Miguasha, a fossil treasure managed by Sépaq at Parc national de Miguasha. Weekends might also include a scenic drive to Carleton-sur-Mer for the Mont-Saint-Joseph lookout or shoreline cycling with bay views.
Families appreciate practical amenities close at hand. Public schools are administered by the Centre de services scolaire René-Lévesque, while post-secondary options include the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles in nearby Carleton. Healthcare is anchored by the CISSS de la Gaspésie’s Hôpital de Maria, a short trip along Route 132. Everyday errands are easy in Bonaventure or Carleton-sur-Mer, with specialty services and big-box shopping within reach across the bay.
Culture and nature meet in equal measure. Families love the Bioparc de la Gaspésie in Bonaventure, while history buffs explore the Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site in Pointe-à-la-Croix. Trails ripple through dunes, riverbanks, and headlands, and festivals up and down the coast keep the calendar lively.
