    Black Beach was a great place to explore and is dog friendly. The view is great and the sand is so…read moresoft. Long road down and back but a must see if you have the time! The sand is really black!

    This beach was one that I won't ever forget!…read more Black sand between your toes was pretty awesome, and the salt water rising let you know that time was passing just as sure as grains of sand fall in an antique egg timer. This was a fantastic stopover on our trip to St. John from Moncton. I have no idea how to get to it though, so you'll have to figure that out for yourself. I was the driver and not the navigator to this hidden gem of a destination. This beach is at the end of a curvy, and hilly gravel road without much for signage. It is on private land, I believe owned by a hydro company, and if there is maintenance, there isn't much of it. There is no garbage container, washrooms or outhouse. Just a small gravel parking lot and a hand written sign on a rock tell you the name of it. As well there is a plaque explaining how the area is protected as a valuable ecosystem. The beach depth varies as the tides go in and out, 12 hours a day so keep that in mind when you park it on the sand for the day. Since the tide was coming in while we were there, panic ensued as my friend's phone and dress were underwater before we realized they were missing. Whoops, there's the phone under a foot of water lol. The swimming here was great! Remember to change into your suit before going or you might be giving other swimmers a show. Nice salty water keeping you riding high in the waves with inherent buoyancy and no nasty rocks under the depths to harsh your beach buzz. The black sand is more of a charcoal colour, and with white rocks sticking out, makes for stunning views and memorable photos. Highly recommended when craving a salt-water swim!

    "The Rez" is my favourite place to enjoy the day with my family…read more Offers a supervised freshwater beach, a playground, picnic tables and hiking trails. There is so much to do! There is a wide, gravel trail (wheelchair accessible just make sure someone able to push through- took grandma & loved it) going around the entire rez (3.4KM) but off this main gravel trail is 2 dozen trails (no official map, just have to look for the openings!) My favourite trail we call "beaver trail" - named because you pass a beaver dam! (have never seen a beaver but always have my camera ready...) To get to the beaver trail: Go clockwise. The opening is 3 minutes after you start on the gravel trail - its wide enough for 1 person so bring your carrier. Also, I've been temped to let my dogs off leash in these trails but one day I came across 2 poripines (they left us alone and we left them alone, no harm) but from then on will not let me doggies off leash (as the sign states lol) There are lots of beaches as well! To get to the best private beach people bring their poochies to: Go clockwise around trail. When you come to bridge take the trail to the right (along the water) There will be other small trails leading off but keep going straight and you come to a beautiful beach. Get out, enjoy and make your own family map of the trails you discover

    Located right along the Ocean in picturesque St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Kiwanis Oceanfront…read moreCampground is a popular camping compound for locals and travelers alike. They offer services to tenters up to Class A motorcoaches. Many sites have great waterviews and a whole line of sites are listed as waterfront, just the street seperates your unit from the beach. Roadways in the campground are paved, but sites are grass. Fullhook ups are available (w/s/e). Sites are small in width - you can get your unit with slides out and vehicle right next to it before you're in the next camp site. If you want more "real estate" to park your vehicle and set up a grill and picnic table and maybe another chair or two, good luck - best bet, park the vehicle in the overflow area. A good portion of the campground is given over to seasonal campers and they've decorated their lots in a whole mishmash of styles - seems like almost anything goes. Campground can get rather hectic and loud on weekends and holiday periods. They'll even park overflow campers on the grass sections when they run out of hookups. They were renovating a portion of the campground when we were there - no rv's on the sites and piles of rock/gravel. Don't know what they plan to do. Laundry is in one building, showers and bathrooms are another - you could tell bath house was recently renovated.

    This was a really hard review for me to write. The camp ground it self is really lovely; beautiful…read morewashrooms, great kitchen, friendly people and great views. What makes me rate this campground so low is that the tenting area is infested with fire ants. Waking up to being bitten by ants is not a pleasant morning and cooking breakfast was nothing short of a dance to keep them off my feet. The part that really bothers me is that when I spoke with the staff to inform them of the infestation they knew about the problem. They gave us our money back right away but the fact that they have no plans on dealing with the ant issue is quite concerning. I would not recommend tenting to anyone, especially with children or pets. I will say it would be a nice spot if you have a trailer or something to keep you off the ground.

The price is per person, not per car.

    This review is from two points of view, tourist and disability access…read more As with anything within the Fundy area, please take into effect weather and tides The cost was about $9 plus tax and it was good for one day only (other places offer two day passes) This places serves two venues, driving touring and hiking tourist. For the hiking touring, this place is probably your dream come true. The day I as here, the visibility was nill at best. I did go down to one view point where I could somewhat make out a rock formation with a tree on it. They call it a flower pot. The rest of the drive, was just that a drive due to lack of visibility. On my way back the fog lifted enough that I could make cliffs and rocky bottom... I will say that the signage in the page is poor. You come to a lookout for a beach, and to take the trail down you don't know whether to take the trail to the left or right from the lookout. Also unlike other Fundy locations, the signage in regards to the trails (difficulty etc) was poor as well. Never found the beach below. Disability access... yes there are boardwalk spots and boardwalk lookouts... but to get to them is another story! Wheelchair access from my point of view is little to none. For the walking impaired, there are stairs everywhere and some that gave a new level of difficulty. not just to me but also a service dog.... I'm not really impressed, but I did get some good pictures with the receding fog... I recommend thinking twice, if not a third time regarding this place... I look forward to what others have to say about this place. Parking was ample. Staff... saw some but there was no interaction (they were mowing) and the lady at the gate was not what I would call pleasant.

    Students of International Relations may be familiar with a phenomenon called "Soft Power…read moreDiplomacy". Often this takes the form of international media programming and information distribution that may be criticized (rightly or wrongly) as propaganda, often because of its asymmetrical nature (to its intellectual critics, as a means of broadcasting the narratives of "Empire" at the exclusion of individual experiences). We might take such examples as the U.S. Agency for Global Media and its oversight of Voice of America. However, such Soft Power Diplomacy can also take more bilateral forms, in which two sovereign states emphasize their mutual contributions over the years, with the motivating principle being that a history of good relations makes for a future of good relations. Funded by the governments of the two participating countries, Campobello Island's Roosevelt Campobello International Park (located in New Brunswick, Canada) provides a fruitful and demonstrative example of positive bilateral relations that are maintained through Soft Power Diplomacy of this type. Occasionally, as with many historical museums in its genre, the more problematic aspects of history are swept under the rug (such as FDR's emergence as a rising star in the Democratic Party at a time when it was known largely as a party of southern segregationists such as Woodrow Wilson and Josephus Daniels, or - also a thorny issue - FDR's wartime persecution of Japanese-Americans). To address these matters, however, is not the point of this museum. Rather, it is to build on FDR's reputation as a wartime president who overcame great odds (both personal and political) and in so doing to emphasize goodwill between Canada and the United States. In this, the Roosevelt Campobello National Park is successful. Guided tours are provided of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's summer home, and there is a Living History presentation available by an actor portraying First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, herself elevated to legendary status as one of the most powerful and influential First Ladies of the United States in history. Both of these features are conveniently close to the park-and-museum's in-house restaurant and cafe, on the lower floor of a lovely little cottage overlooking the water. In the main lobby and gift shop are placards that discuss Canada's aid to stranded American travelers during 9/11 as well as both wartime military cooperation and peacetime agreements between Canada and the United States (such as USMCA, the renegotiated version of NAFTA developed and ratified under the prior US presidential administration). This park and museum are worth attending, though with the same critical thought that ought to be applied in any Public History setting. In this case, Public History serves as an item in both countries' diplomatic toolkit. To this purpose, the museum and park certainly achieve their intent.

    The park consists of various hiking trails, scenic places along the coast, and FDR's summer…read morecottage. FDR's cottage is nicely preserved. They allow you to walk through most of the house, which apparently is furnished with all original pieces. It's one of the nicer old homes I've visited. Mullholland Lighthouse is also in the park. It's a smaller lighthouse that's situated directly across from Lubec, ME. If you're looking for a nice photo of quaint Lubec, you should be able to get a nice one here. There is no charge to get into the park or the cottage. I don't believe it's part of the park, however, since it doesn't have a Yelp entry, I'll also mention the East Quoddy Head Lighthouse. This lighthouse is at the northern tip of the island and is definitely worth a trip. They charge $5 (US or Canadian money accepted) to walk to the lighthouse at low tide, and another $10 if you want to go inside the lighthouse itself (I did not go inside.). The walk to the lighthouse consists of climbing up and down 4 flights of (very rusty) stairs and walking over beach rocks. However, the walk is worth it since you can get some up-close shots of the lighthouse as well as a sense of the power of the sea and what it was like to be a lighthouse keeper.
