Fundy Trail and St Martins Aug Aug 9

Fundy Trail runs from near St Martins for about 25Klm
It is a spectacular winding road that follows the coastline with many lookout spots where you can take pictures, have lunch at the picnic tables or hike.










St Martins is a small fishing village , but the attraction is the caves. When the tide is down you can walk near, or in front  of them . but when the tide comes in the caves fill with water.

After the tide had come back in Kayakers came along for a visit






Having fish and chips with seafood chowder for lunch while the tide was coming in



The far side of the bay with a light house on the point
When the tide goes out the bay empties, and the boats are stranded



Fishing boats sitting in the sand



Lobster traps waiting to be loaded on to the boat. No more wooden lobster traps




The beach in St Martins


The restaurant on the beach near the caves. During the day people gather here to watch the tide coming and going.





St John NB


From St Martins we drove to the Irving Nature Center in St. John NB. 10 minutes from down town. A very busy place with a nice beach and lots of walking trails. The parking lot emptied near dusk , and started again at 6:30 am. We camped overlooking the water. A little piece of heaven. About half a dozen campers spent the night here.
After 8 o'clock  there were no vehicles between us and the water.
Can't get much better than this
