GRAND MANAN ISLAND….

An Island in the Bay of Fundy
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.
Yes, we have lighthouses…in fact, we have three!
Swallowtail Lighthouse will welcome you to the Island as you first approach it, on the ferry, and you will be able to see it clearly through the windows on the starboard side or, better yet, from the observation deck at the top. Visit the grounds once you settle in - Swallowtail will offer you incredible vistas of the island and the bay, particularly on a sunny day but even when the sky is overcast. Lots of history here too!
Colour on the Island
There must be thousands of shades of green on Grand Manan Island. The mosses alone are of such a wide variety, it is difficult to keep track of them all. Lupins, colourful sentinels and symbols of the Maritimes, dress up the landscape, as do wild iris spilling into meadows filled with dew.
