An Island in the Bay of Fundy
Weir at Pettes Cove
We hope you are here because you have heard of Grand Manan, are interested in learning more, and perhaps even considering the Island for your next adventure. WELCOME!
The Canadian Maritimes are very special, and Grand Manan Island is no exception. It lies at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, with the Gulf of Maine to the west.
The Island is like no other place on earth - those who love it know that already. Its fauna, flora, location, size, history and geological origins definitely justify the use of the word “unique” to describe it. It is remote but not desolate by any means - it teams with life and breathes its own breath, timed by the remarkable cycle of its tide.

There is no ferris wheel on Grand Manan, no glitzy shopping avenues or bustling tourist enclaves. But you will be fully entertained if your idea of fun matches ours - spending your days here surrounded by a profound sense of peace, breathing in Mother Nature’s own breath, and feeling your senses at full throttle as your eyes, ears and nose take in the rich landscape and magnificent shores.
Yes, we love Grand Manan Island - we are sure you can tell that by now. It’s a place that began tugging at our hearts from the very start. It might tug at yours too!
This website was created to give you some insight into the Island, primarily through images. If you want to learn more, we encourage you to visit the Island’s official website.
Grand Manan has a Museum!
When on the Island, do not miss the opportunity to visit this incredible resource of information, presented in a variety of media! When you initially approach the building, we guarantee you will underestimate what you might find when you enter!
The Museum gives visitors a chance to explore not only the Island’s history, heritage, fauna and flora but also its geology - through rich, varied and often interactive exhibits.
