New Brunswick Travel Guide |
 'Flowerpot' rocks in the Bay of Fundi © tlbcml The sparsely inhabited province of New Brunswick is a wonderland
of verdant forests, breathtaking beaches, fragile coastal dunes and
some of the oldest mountains in the world, the Appalachians.
Logging is a major industry here and it's no wonder when one sees
the abundance of trees. Part of the historic Acadia, a 17th century
French land claim in North America, New Brunswick is the only
constitutionally bilingual province in Canada where inhabitants
speak both English and French.
The capital and largest city of New Brunswick is Fredericton, home
to three universities, host to the Harvest Jazz & Blues
Festival and widely known for its 'Indie music' scene. A great city
to explore in itself, New Brunswick has plenty more to offer its
visitors outside of the hum and drum of the city.
The Fundy National Park is a must for anyone wanting to escape into
the great outdoors as the park comprises Fundy coast and forest and
features over 20 waterfalls for hikers to discover.
The Kouchbouguak National Park boasts warm water tidal pools, while
the Bay of Fundy is possibly New Brunswick's most popular
attraction, as this spectacular bay rises and falls 40 feet (12
metres) each day with the tides. Visitors will be able to walk
along the floor of the bay and marvel at the unusual 'tree-tufted'
flowerpot rocks, which have been sculpted in the sandstone by the
tides, only to be able to kayak around the bay later that very same
day. This bay also provides some exciting whale watching
opportunities too.
A nature-lover's paradise, New Brunswick offers visitors the chance
to escape it all and explore the wilderness juxtaposed with big
clear skies, perfect for stargazing!
