Welcome to Clare! The coastal fishing and forestry communities of this area, often referred to as the French Acadian Shore, hug picturesque St. Mary's Bay for over 50 km (35 miles). Discover the tranquility of the Mavillette Beach and the village of Cape Saint Mary’s. The Cape’s wharf is most picturesque, and is guarded by homes perched on the hill overlooking the sea. In the village are Cape Saint Mary’s Lighthouse and art galleries and studios. You will also find one of the area’s most precious treasures: Mavillette Beach.
