Love where you live. I’ve heard it. I’ve repeated it. And when I really get a chance to sit down and think about it, I truly believe in it!

It’s important that we appreciate the place we come from. For me, the world seems so big and I want to explore every corner of it. It’s easy to get caught up in daydreaming of far away places, and forget to enjoy what’s around me.

I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on what I love about the Canadian Maritimes as of late, and particularly, New Brunswick. We have a lot to offer in this picture perfect province! There’s so much to see and enjoy in the summer months and I’m all about supporting local business at this time. I’m confident we can stay entertained despite not being able to travel outside the province just yet. And because I love helping my fellow Maritimers stay entertained, I’m more than happy to share my top recommendations.

Let’s call it a New Brunswick bucket list.

1. Hike to the waterfalls at Fundy National Park

   Try out the following trails; Moosehorn, Laverty Falls, Third Vault Falls, Dickson Falls.

2. Eat and drink in Downtown Moncton

   I highly recommend Tide and Boar Gastropub.

3. Relax in a Nordic Spa in Moncton

   Because you deserve it. Check out USVA Nordik.

4. Kayak around the Hopewell Rocks

   Make sure to read the tide tables!

5. View the highest tides in the world in Alma

   Try also to see them at their lowest.

6. Hike Sussex Bluffs Trail

   For an amazing view!

7. Hike along the Fundy Trail

   This includes the 64km Fundy Footpath, but also less strenuous hikes, like Walton Glen Gorge Trail.

8. Visit St Martins Sea Caves

   Try low tide for this one.

9. Dine on the boardwalk in Saint John

   Patio season is my favourite time of the year!

10. Sleep under the stars on the Kingston Peninsula

    Who doesn’t love glamping? Book at Ridgeback Lodge.

11. Check out the craft brewery scene in Fredericton

    Maybe even try a beer tour.

12. Have a picnic on New River Beach

    Clearly, there’s a way to bring food into everything.

13. Take the ferries from L’Etete to Campobello Island via Deer Island

    An experience every New Brunswicker loves. Watch for whales! Check the ferry schedule beforehand.

14. Lighthouse hunting on Campobello Island

    You’ll have to drive to the entire length of the island to find the famous Head Harbour Lightstation.

15. Go whale watching on Grand Manan Island

    Search for humpbacks, minkes, finbacks and the endangered North Atlantic right whale.

How many of these can you complete this summer? Are you up to the challenge?

Cheers,

Hill XO
