Havre de Richibouctou, also known as Richibucto Harbour, is a coastal saltwater harbour in Kent Rural District, New Brunswick. The harbour features a complex geography with a Northwest Branch that is accessed via a narrow, buoyed channel from the south shore. This configuration indicates the presence of defined navigation channels, which paddlers should be aware of due to potential boat traffic. A notable nearby feature for paddlers to potentially visit is Cap Lumiere Beach, which is accessible via a trail estimated to be 4.4 miles long. As a tidal harbour, paddlers must plan their trips around the significant tidal currents, particularly when navigating the narrow channel, aiming to paddle with the tide to avoid strenuous effort. The open water of the harbour can also be exposed to wind, creating fetch and choppy conditions that require attention to weather forecasts. The presence of a buoyed channel and the harbour's marine nature suggest commercial and recreational boat traffic is likely, necessitating vigilance, especially when crossing channels. There are no indicated restrictions on paddling within the harbour itself.
