rich culture and incredible hospitality. If this
sounds appealing then New Brunswick is the place
for you. Surrounded by quiet pristine shores and
green forests, New Brunswick seems to make time stand
still.
New Brunswick is currently is one of four Atlantic

In the Bay of Fundy the world’s highest tides
rise and fall twice a day, every day. In the
morning you can descend to the ocean floor and walk
among sandstone formations sculpted from years of
endless tidal activity. Hours later, when the seawater
rolls in, you can kayak above the very same spot.
Among the most popular tourist spots are Magnetic
Hill, the reversing falls of Saint John, and the
majestic Appalachian mountain range. New Brunswick
has two national parks, Fundy and Kouchibouguac.
In addition, some 48 provincial parks and recreation
areas allow for camping in nearly every part of the
province.
While the day-to-day life may seem leisurely, don’t
let that fool you: there is more than enough to do
in New Brunswick. With a calendar filled with an endless
number of festivals, fairs and special events, the
cultural pride of this province is celebrated continuously
with music, dance, parades and unique hometown hospitality.
From seafood extravaganzas to mouth watering chocolate
festivals, New Brunswick is sure to please any visitor. |
