Beautiful, scenic place to get a nice walk in. Outer loop is about 7k if I remember correctly. Some pretty spots to see the ocean & lots of shade to beat the summer heat. A must!

The Irving Eco-Centre

Reviewed By Ohatt03 - Quispamsis, Canada

My family visited the Eco Center during the June heat wave, and spent a lot of time at the beach. It is free parking and admission. The beach itself has beautiful white sand, warm water, and a cooling breeze for those 30+ degree days. We loved it so much we spent three days in a row here. What I couldn’t believe, is that the beach was nearly empty! There may have been 25-30 people there. Do yourself the favor and drive the extra 30 mins past Parlee beach and go here! We will be going back.

Grand Manan Whale and Seabird Research Station

The GMWSRS is a multi-purpose not-for-profit facility that has a tiny marine natural history museum about the largest marine animals (Gaskin Marine Natural History Museum), a gift shop to help fund our operations with many local and Maritime crafts and gifts, and staff quarters for researchers and interns. Conveniently located across from the ferry ticket office, it is a great place to stop for a few minutes. Access to the museum is by donation.
