This beach is in a cove between the Village of Grand Manan and Swallowtail Lighthouse. Thinking, that little house on the beach would be a great place to stay, unfortunately, I believe it is a private residence.

Perched over dramatic cliffs, the Southwest Headlight was built in 1880. Although there were no cliffs to be seen this day, we did return the next day to see them for ourselves. They are dramatic and very beautiful.

Although the ferry to Grand Manan is free, the departure ferry is not. However, on a clear day like this we did see whales and other marine animals making it a very economical whale watching tour.

Built in the early 1900's, Compass Rose Heritage Inn overlooks the Bay of Fundy. It is conveniently located in town and near the ferry terminal. However, the best part is the ocean view.

The Flag House was built in 1928 and retains much of the charm from that period. The rooms are clean and comfortable and furnished with antiques.

A room with a view. Compass Rose is a quaint and cozy place. I could spend the whole day here relaxing, reading and playing cards.

The Compass Rose's Garden overlooks the Bay of Fundy. Such a relaxing place to sit and watch the tides or to read a book.

A very muddy racecourse for sure. It is on my race event list! Would love to experience the Bay of Fundy that way, hopefully by running and not by swimming! New Brunswick is now on the list.
