V235 Driving from Scoudouc NB to Shediac NB Canada May 2024

Driving to Shediac on a nice spring day. Driving in Shediac NB. Located in South Easter NB, the town is home to the famous Parlee Beach and is known as the "Lobster Capital of the World". It hosts an annual festival every July which promotes its ties to lobster fishing. At the western entrance to the town is a 90-ton sculpture called The World's Largest Lobster. The name "Shediac" itself is derived from the Mi'kmaq word Esedeiik, which means "which comes from far away", possibly in reference to the Shediac Bay. Acadians arrived here in 1751. A beautiful town.
