Twin Meadows Walking Trail
WALKING
The 800m Twin Meadows Walking Trail, a boardwalk and footpath through fields and
woodlands, begins opposite 165 Joe's Point Rd beyond the blockhouse.
Tours
Several companies offering boat trips and whale-watching cruises have offices by the
wharf at the foot of King St. They're open from mid-June to early September. The
cruises (around $60) take in the lovely coast. Seabirds are commonplace and seeing
whales is the norm. The ideal waters for watching these beasts are further out in the bay,
however, so if you're heading for the Fundy Isles, do your trip there.
