Located at 424 Main Street, the Visitor Welcome Centre is a great first stop when arriving in Fundy-St. Martins. Open seasonally, it's staffed by friendly locals ready to help you make the most of your visit. You’ll find maps, brochures, and promotional materials from local businesses, along with helpful tips on what to see and do while you're here. Right outside, our newly refreshed Harbour Park offers one of the best green spaces in the village. Next to both covered bridges and the harbour, it’s a scenic and peaceful spot to relax or take photos.

​

During the summer tourism season, the centre is open from 10am-5:30pm, 7 days a week. The facility features one of the area’s few public washrooms, which are usually opened around 8am during the tourism season (June, July, August).

​

As you enter St. Martins, turn right to head down Main Street (at the XTR), then continue past village shops, historic homes, corner stores and campgrounds. The Welcome Centre and Harbour Park will be on your left, just after you pass the wharf/harbour, but before you pass through our covered bridges.

Fundy Trail Provincial Park is a 2,559 hectare (6,323 acre) park featuring a 30 km (19 mile) parkway hugging the southern coast of New Brunswick. You can drive the paved parkway that hugs the 250 m (820 ft) coastal cliffs, explore trails that connect to paths or stairways leading to pristine beaches and river estuaries, cross an 84 m (275 ft) suspension footbridge, see tumbling waterfalls and Precambrian rocks or stop by the interpretive centre and discover the rich history of a once thriving lumber industry.

​

It is also part of two UNESCO designated sites — the Fundy Biosphere Reserve and Stonehammer Global Geopark — and home to the beginning of the Fundy Footpath, considered by experts to be one of the top 50 hiking trails in the world! 

​

The beauty of Fundy-St. Martins reveals itself slowly. As the tide retreats, red sandstone caves emerge, inviting you to explore the ocean floor on foot. At high tide, kayak your way in and out of the caves you walked through six hours earlier! Or take a boat tour along one of the world’s most dramatic coastlines. For kayak and zodiac tours of the rocks and coastline and interpretive tours of the sea caves at low tide, contact Bay of Fundy Adventures.

​

The highest tides in the world inspire wonder no matter how you experience them. At low tide, discover a variety of marine life in the intertidal pools. Stroll the enormous tidal flats. As the tide returns to shore, park your beach chair along the water’s edge and watch sun-diamonds sparkle off the waves as you gaze across the Bay to Nova Scotia. Search for treasure, swim in salt water, or sit in awe. We recommend all three!

​

At the western edge of St. Martins lies the tidal salt marsh. High tides regularly flood this flat land. Low tide reveals meandering rivulets and shallow ponds. Among the most important marine habitats in the world, the salt marsh is home to a stunning diversity of plant and marine life, and provides a stopover for migrating waterfowl, such as Semipalmated Sandpipers. Bring your binoculars and explore this wondrous coastal ecosystem.

​

Colorful fishing boats rest on the ocean floor. Six hours later, and 38 feet higher, they lean into the wharf at the heart of St. Martins. Here, life follows the reassuring rhythm of the tides. Fishermen unload their catch at high tide and kayakers set out for the sea caves. At low tide, the harbor changes from energetic and vibrant to restful and serene. Grab a coffee at the Shipyard Cafe or a sweet treat at Octopus Ice Cream and watch the scene unfold while you plan your Fundy-St. Martins adventure.

You may not know that New Brunswick has some of the best stargazing in Canada, if not North America. This is due to a relative lack of air and light pollution. Fundy-St. Martins presents wonderful stargazing opportunities. This photo is from Astronomy by the Bay, who often hold events in the area!

​

Immerse yourself in Village life — past and present. The Quaco Museum tells the story of a thriving shipbuilding community that launched over 500 wooden sailing vessels. In the mid-19th century, this area was one of the richest communities in the British Empire. The magnificent historic homes give you a sense of the Village’s seafaring past. ​
