Take our word for it. You will
never have enough time to do it all! We are happy to help you
plan your itinerary, but just to get you started, here are a few
suggestions:
Fundy
National Park, which just enjoyed it’s 50th
anniversary in 2001, maintains a number of excellent and diverse
hiking and biking trails, both inland and along the coast, as
well as daily (or sometimes nightly) guided nature walks and
interpretive programs during the day and evening that appeal to
young and old alike. |
| The
Fundy Highlands Inn & Chalets is a short distance
from tennis courts, lawn bowling, the challenging Fundy National
Park golf course, a heated salt water swimming pool, lakes and
rivers for swimming, boating or fishing, and a children's
playground.
While the Bay of Fundy is a tad
chilly for all but the most hardiest of guests, there are
beautiful coastal beach areas to explore at low tide. But make
sure you take care to watch
the rising water!
And don't forget your camera -
the scenery is spectacular and various kinds of wildlife are
frequently seen by visitors. You may get really lucky and see
one of the park’s resident moose or perhaps one of the
peregrine falcons we helped rescue from endangerment!
Fundy National Park boasts two of
New Brunswick’s famous covered bridges. Make sure you ask
someone to tell you the tale of the Point Wolfe Bridge!

Nearby,
the quaint fishing village of Alma boasts a variety of
restaurants and take-outs, fresh seafood shops, a lounge, a
bakery, a specialty coffee shop, several gift stores if you are
seeking that perfect souvenir, as well as a gas station and two
small general stores where visitors may purchase groceries and
other necessities.
Taking part in a kayaking
or boat tour of the coastline are adventures that should not be
passed up. Drop down to the scenic fisherman’s wharf to meet
the local fishermen – perhaps you can convince them to regale
you with tales of the mighty Fundy tides. |

The
wharf is also the best place in Alma to truly appreciate these
highest tides in the world. At low tide, the fishing boats rest
in cradles on the ocean’s floor; a mere six hours later, they
are bobbing at the top of the 15-foot high wharf! Seeing
truly is believing!
And of course, we would never
neglect to remind you that the Bay
of Fundy lobster is the very best in the world! Not
that we are biased, of course, but it really is! The
combination of food supplies and water temperature in the bay
contributes to the quality of this delectable treat for the
seafood lover. Gotta try it! Gonna love it!
We are also only a short drive
from the Hopewell
Rocks, the Cape
Enrage Lighthouse and Mary’s
Point Bird Sanctuary. The nearby communities of
Riverside-Albert, Hopewell Cape and Hillsborough have a diverse
selection of restaurants, crafts people and artisans - sights to
see, people to meet, food to eat. Visit our museums, historic
homes and heritage railway to discover the rich and exciting
history that has shaped these friendly people of our area who
will welcome you with open arms.
