Discover stunning scenery, whale watching and the lobster capital of the world in the Canadian province of New Brunswick and the Bay of Fundy
With untouched forest making up 85% of Canada’s New Brunswick, there’s so much beautiful landscape to explore – as we discovered when we took a trip around this stunning province on the Atlantic coast.
My top tip is to head down early if the tide allows it. We arrived at 8.15am and shared the ocean floor with just a couple of dog walkers. By the time we left at 10am there were floods of tourists, which makes for far less impressive photographs! LOBSTER LOVERS Shediac town is the self-proclaimed lobster capital of the world. This is marked by the world’s largest lobster statue on Main Street – you can’t miss it.
The next night we were part of La Grande Table for a lobster feast, an event that sees 700 people sitting at one long table that stretches the whole way up Main Street. We were initially a little intimidated by the huge whole lobsters set down in front of us, but the New Brunswick locals – who may just be among the nicest people on earth – were kind enough to coach us novices through the cracking process to reap the delicious rewards of the fresh catch.
Continuing the tour around Saint John’s buzzing streets, we enjoyed a cocktail at the dimly lit Port City Royal restaurant before sampling a beer flight at popular local brewery Bigtide.
