With minke, fin, humpback and even North Atlantic right whales just off the coast during the summer months, St Andrews is the place to be for avid whale watchers!
Designated a ‘National Historic Site’ of Canada, not only is the quaint town of St Andrews a walkable pleasure, but it offers unparalleled access to the ocean for whale watching in New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy. After a morning of cetacean adventures at sea, searching for such incredible creatures as white-sided dolphin, harbour porpoise, humpback, fin, minke, and the extremely rare North Atlantic right whale, return to land and soak up the bay views along with history, culture and of course, food!
Water Street’s dineries will showcase the best of local produce, including dulse (seaweed presented in all manner of ways) or why not try a Fundy Fog? Whisky with vanilla and tea anyone? Artisan shops, galleries and gardens are a delight, and a visit to Pendlebury Lighthouse, the Blockhouse and Ministers Island should not be missed.
Drive the surrounding coastline, admiring stupendous scenery and scrutinising the shoreline for sightings of seals and a wide variety of birds. From bald eagles to waders, and warblers to migrants, there’s even a provincial bird, the black-capped chickadee. They’re all here, just waiting to be discovered.
