Shediac Bay is a tidal embayment, an extension of the Northumberland Strait in New Brunswick, Canada.
Popular Parlee Beach faces onto Shediac Bay
It is located about 50 km north-east of Moncton. The nearest population centre is Shediac. There are two small islands in the bay: Shediac Island and Skull Island. There is one major beach Parlee Beach which runs close. The bay contains Shediac Harbour which is a popular boating and fishing area. The Canadian Coast Guard maintain an inshore rescue boat station (CCG IRB Shediac) at Pointe du Chêne. The bay was a stopover location for Italo Balbo's transatlantic mass flight in 1933.
Major streams feeding into the bay are the Shediac River, Bateman Brook, and Scoudouc River.[1]
