Seal Cove

Seal Cove is located on the southern tip of Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick and stands as one of Canada's most authentic maritime villages. Designated as a National Historic Site, the village is renowned for its iconic wooden herring smokehouses that line the harbor, remnants of a once-booming global industry. The rugged character of the Bay of Fundy, with its world-record tides, dictates the pace of life in this serene community. The local beaches are a treasure trove for nature lovers. Seal Cove Beach is a beautiful sandy expanse, a rarity on the island, providing a first-rate spot for beachcombing during low tide. South Head Beach features sweeping views from towering cliffs over the Atlantic, often serving as a vantage point for spotting whales. Long Pond Beach, located behind coastal dunes, is adjacent to a significant migratory bird sanctuary, making it a prime location for birdwatching and quiet reflection. Visitors are drawn to Seal Cove for its unparalleled opportunities for sea kayaking and hiking the island's many trails. The culinary scene is defined by world-class lobster and the local specialty, sun-dried dulse. Accessible only by ferry from Blacks Harbour, Seal Cove gives a true escape into a world of maritime history and natural wonder, far removed from the hustle of mainland life.
