#StopToSeeNB- Alma, NB – Visiting Hometowns In New Brunswick

Inside: Our #StopToSeeNB, two-night family visit to Alma, New Brunswick. Sharing what we did, where we ate, and where we stayed.

Stop #3 in our series “#StopToSeeNB – Visiting Hometowns In New Brunswick”, is Alma, New Brunswick. This was a fun-filled 3 days in Alma, experiencing history, hiking, beach exploring, and more.

We were sponsored in part by Fundy Cabins for this stay. They offered ideas and suggestions for where we ate and businesses in town to visit. All opinions and experiences are our own. We partner with destinations and businesses we feel fit our audience and brand.

2019 New Brunswick Family Summer Bucket List! #StopToSeeNB

by Ruth Ann

This summer we have a bucket list of activities to do and destinations to visit in New Brunswick with our children. We will be sharing ideas and things to see and do with a 6-year-old and a 16-year-old. We had to get creative on this one, it’s not always easy finding activities for these two!

Our goal for this summer with the kids comes down to finding new places to EXPLORE, new things to LEARN and trying new food to EAT. We will also be re-visiting some of our favourite spots along the way.

#discoverNBbeaches – Crow Island Rd Beach

by Ruth Ann

This beach was discovered by chance (near Chance Harbour!) on the same day we visited Black Beach in Lorneville, NB. We decided to explore the coastline further.

#discoverNBbeaches – Pebble Beach, Harvey

by Ruth Ann

Pebble Beach is a such a beautiful spot, fun for the kids, wonderful to photograph and at low tide, lots of space to hike and explore. Pebble Beach is part of the Cape Enrage Nature Preserve just north of Cape Enrage, on the Bay of Fundy in Albert County.

#DiscoverNBBeaches – Gardner Creek Beach

by Ruth Ann

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

by Ruth Ann

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.

Discover NB Beaches – Herring Cove Beach

Herring Cove Beach is another Fundy National Park beach that we visit yearly. Over the years it has remained a popular beach with access from two trails.

#DiscoverNBBeaches – Point Wolf Beach

by Ruth Ann

One of my favourite spots in Fundy National Park is Point Wolf Beach.

Just before crossing the Point Wolf covered bridge, be sure to stop at the Red Chairs and enjoy the view.

FUN FACT: There are about 60 covered bridges in New Brunswick. This one was built in 1992 and is 29m long.

Day Tripping – Fundy Trail Parkway

Day Trip NB – Fundy Trail Parkway

The Fundy Trail Parkway is the perfect spot for families with any age children. There are hiking, biking and auto routes, making this ideal for anyone to enjoy.

We went and explored a few trails, down to waterfalls, across the suspension bridge and also drove the length of the trail. We also visited the interpretive center at Great Salmon River. My history loving hubby and older son have to read all about everything! We will be headed back this summer to check out the beaches and the extension to the route since we last visited.
