Did you know we have a beach, right here in New Brunswick, that has black sand? Black Beach is located minutes outside of Saint John, in Lorneville.
#DiscoverNBBeaches – McLeod’s Beach
When travelling from Saint John to St Martin’s on Route 111, why not venture along the coast via Route 825 and visit a few beaches along the way? McLeod’s Beach is the first of 3 beaches you will come across.
McLeod’s Beach, Reed’s Beach and Gardner Creek Beach are all on NB Route 825.
There is no parking, so we pulled off along the side of the road, there are a few spots with a little shoulder. When the tide is out,
#DiscoverNBBeaches – Reeds Beach
As you can tell, based on our previous beach adventures, we have been visiting some beaches on some windy and cooler days. To be fair, often it is much warmer and even sunny inland, but when you head towards the Fundy Coast, you never know what’s in store. When heading out on any road trip, and especially a beach trip, always dress in layers and pack a sweatshirt!
#DiscoverNBBeaches – Gardner Creek Beach
We are enjoying our summer and setting out each week, or so to #discoverNBbeaches to share with you. We hope you are enjoying this series, and would love any suggestions on beaches to visit!
A recent outing, on a cool and breezy Spring day, led us to explore Gardner Creek Beach on route 825, NB. It is located along the Fundy coast between Saint John and St. Martin’s, about 1.5 hours drive from Moncton, 30 minutes from Saint John, and about 15 minutes from St. Martin’s.
#DiscoverNBBeaches – Irving Nature Park
In 2017, we ( the boys and I) spent our summer in Quispamsis, caring for my mom after her stroke. Exploring beaches was one of the things we did to get away from the hospital and get the boys outside. We went to the Irving Nature Park a few times over the summer, and here are some of our photos and the details on the park.

Day Trips In New Brunswick With Kids
Day Trips In New Brunswick With Kids
For many summers now, we have been doing day trips from our home in Moncton, NB. With two children that are almost 10 years apart in age, we have tried to find adventures that are interesting for both boys. While some day tripping adventures have been the entire family, many have been just myself and the kids, while hubby is working. Keeping this in mind, many of the day trips are doable with one adult and a couple children.
