Grand Manan Island, the largest island in the Bay of Fundy, is located just
off the southernmost tip of New
Brunswick and the west coast of Maine.
It is a short 1.5-hour ferry ride from Blacks
Harbour, New Brunswick, the only public transportation access to the island.
Although Grand Manan Island is only 28 km (17 mi) long and 12 km (7.5 mi) wide,
its location and its stretches of shoreline make it a haven for whale-watchers,
bird-watchers and naturalists alike. Parks such as Hole-in-the-Wall
Park and Anchorage
Provincial Park offer sandy beaches, whale-watching opportunities, scenic
rock formations, hiking trails and a migratory bird sanctuary. Enjoy all that
summer in Grand Manan has to offer at the Grand
Manan Rotary Festival, visit Swallowtail
Lighthouse, the oldest active lighthouse on Grand Manan Island and take
in the history of the area at the Grand
Manan Museum and Grand
Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station.
