Grand Manan and White Head Islands are perfect vacation destinations for those seeking a refuge from the crowds of many popular destinations.
Whether you have a day or two to spend with us or your entire vacation, Grand Manan has something to offer all interests.

Almost on your doorstep!
Grand Manan Island lies a mere 11 km (6 miles) from the closest landfall (Campobello Island and the easternmost point of Maine) and is served year-round by a 64 car ferry making multiple trips daily from Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick.

It’s within a days drive from most large population centres along the eastern seaboard, yet it seems far removed from the hubbub of urban living. An ideal spot to while away an afternoon...or a lifetime!

Experience for yourself what has historically attracted famous painters (John James Audubon), crafts people (Erica  Deichmann Gregg), and the Pulitzer prize winning author Willa Cather to these shores and continues to attract nature lovers, artists, photographers, geologists and hikers today.

Discover lighthouses, beaches, soaring cliffs, colourful fishing boats, wildflowers, whales and seabirds.  Nutrient-rich waters of the Bay of Fundy, kept mixed by the famous Fundy tides, give us the best whale and seabird watching in New Brunswick.

Just bring yourself, everything else you need for an enjoyable stay is right here - a wide range of accommodations including historic inns and lodges, sea side cottages, housekeeping units, B&B's, a motel and sea side campgrounds, and dining experiences to suit everyone’s taste and budget.

Take a tour of our lighthouses, hike the many island trails, bring your kayak and bike, or opt for convenient rentals.  Wander our shorelines beachcombing or visit the busy local fishing wharves or try our local delicacies. Visit our local museums and marine research station.

Hop aboard a tour boat and spot puffins, porpoises and a wide array of whales and other seabirds.  From spring nesting to fall migration bird watchers will reach for their binoculars with delight.

We invite you to discover this pleasant blend of active fishing communities and the beauty and serenity of nature at its best. A Natural wonder in the centre of Canada's Bay of Fundy.

Experience us once and we guarantee you’ll often find yourself musing....

“Wish I were there.”

.....so come see what you've been missing!
