The Pagan Point Nature Preserve is a 12 ha (30 acre) piece of land found within the Town of Saint Andrews on Passamaquoddy Bay. It has been designated a provincial archaeological site, as the preserve contains one of the largest, deepest, and least disturbed ‘shell middens' in New Brunswick. A shell midden is a deposit of mollusk shells that are indicative of human settlement and aquatic harvesting activities.In addition to its archaeological significance, the nature preserve offers numerous opportunities for hiking and sightseeing, as you can follow the 0.7 km (0.4 mi.) woodchip trail through a wooded area to a salt marsh. You can also visit a 0.5 km (0.3 mi.) beach and walk along the bay. Pagan Point is easily accessible, with free parking found at both the north and south sides of the preserve.
Travel Advisory: Due to an extreme wildfire risk, forest activities are paused in New Brunswick. Stay up to date on current conditions and closures by visiting the Fire Watch information page.
