Shanklin

Shanklin is located on the spectacular coast of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, a region known for the highest tides in the world. The landscape here is raw and dramatic, characterized by high cliffs and dense coniferous forests that reach to the edge of the ocean. It is a place for explorers who want to experience the wild beauty of the Canadian East off the beaten path. Gardner Creek Beach is the centerpiece of the local coastline. At low tide, the water recedes far, revealing wide areas that invite hiking and the discovery of tide pools. The rock formations along the beach tell of the millennial power of the tides. Gardner Creek Beach is also a wonderful place for picnics and watching the sunset over the bay while enjoying the sound of the surf. The area is traditionally characterized by fishing, and in nearby villages, you can still feel the authentic maritime culture. Access is via Highway 111, which winds through the hilly coastal landscape. Shanklin provides a well-suited base for trips to the Fundy Trail Parkway, one of the most beautiful scenic drives in North America.
