Today, the heritage is preserved within the Tidnish Dock Provincial Park, which features walking trails along the old railway bed and beautiful views of the Baie Verte. The community provides access to several quiet beaches, including Mason Beach and Woods Beach, both of which benefit from the shallow, warm waters of the Northumberland Strait.

It is a first-rate spot for history buffs and families looking for a peaceful day by the sea in a historically rich setting.
