Recommended car: Because the drive from Moncton is short, you would only need a compact car to get you from A to B. If you have more luggage and are staying a bit longer, a compact SUV would be the way to go.
Useful tips: So, why is the water so warm here? The beach is set on the Acadian coast which is where a shallow area of water on the Northumberland Strait warms up super quick. The current brings it to Parlee Beach making the water nice and warm.
