Fundy National Park

 
Fundy National Park

From the TransCanada Highway, turn off on to Route 114 near Sussex/Moncton.

There are campsites in the park and other accommodation in Alma and the surrounding villages.

This park on the steep south coast of New Brunswick includes a 13 km (8 mi.) strip of the wild coast on the Bay of Fundy. Cliffs rise steeply up from the shore and the otherwise slightly hilly landscape is slashed here and there by deep gorges.

The strong influence exerted by the bay means that two quite different climatic regions are to be found within the comparatively small National Park. That on the coast is characterized by cool summers with frequent mist and mild winters. On the higher land the summers are warmer, with no mist, and the winters colder. When the wind comes off the sea in summer the temperature on the coast can differ by as much as 6°C (11°F) from that inland.
