    Hopewell Cape (Flowerpot Rocks) is an outstanding sight to see. Make sure you check the tide schedule on the park website to maximize your time on the beach around low tide. If you like to take photos you will need around two hours on the beach. It is also nice to return at high tide and see the difference.

    Very much enjoyed camping in the park. Is very close to the town of Alma for supplies. Good day trips to other parts of the park including Wolfe Point.

    Great place. Visit the Prince Cafe for a good meal with a great view. Enjoy the free tours of the 'cottage'. Eleanor's Tea is great for history buffs.

    This is well worth spending a day exploring. It is adjacent to Funday National Park, connected by some back roads. Lots of viewpoints and places of interest along the parkway. The caves are worth a look at when you exit the parkway and enter St. Martin.

    If you time your visit to see low tide, then high tide, it can be quite impressive. We stopped on the way to Bay of Fundy for a break from driving and enjoyed the experience. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express, 5 min from falls and hotel was excellent.

    Good to see this area being preserved. There are several different experiences, hiking, beaches, and forest walks that you can enjoy. Altogether a very relaxing place to be.

    My family went to see the Bay of Fundy from two different spots. One was at 100 Fallsview Ave, and the other was at 200 Bridge Rd. The 100 Fallsview Ave had a very small parking lot and the view was very close to the rapids, but also showed a large industrial area. The 200 Bridge Rd was higher up, but had a ton of steps that walked down very close to the water. It was also the area where you would have been able to go to the Skywalk Observatory. Unfortunately, the Skywalk had closed the week earlier so we weren't able to go inside the gift shop, watch the video, or see any of the information. But, we were still able to walk down to the water and see all the views, and read the informational panels on the outside walls.

    The grounds are unlike anything I've seen before. My fiance and I aren't big "flower people" but we enjoyed the walk and the history. The Remembrance Garden for Veterans really struck a chord for me. Very unique place all around and definitely worth the price of admission.

    This is a quiet, peaceful coastal setting to take in some interesting geological history and features. easy and fun at low tide and a nice stop for a picnic lunch (or the adjacent resturant if one desires). Even features a covered bridge on the route. Nearby to the south is a lighthouse point that offers beautiful views as well, Quaco Head if I remember the name correctly. A bit tricky to find but a lovely viewpoint. All this is not a long rural drive from St John.

    Was a beautiful old building with high ceilings with old wood. Had a variety of vendors with gifts, souvenirs, ready to eat food and fresh food and meats available. Also had a variety of international items available.

    One of the most unique things we did on our Canada /New England cruise.
    The scenery is beautiful and driving across the bay floor was interesting. The tour of the house was nice but the grounds were really the attraction.
    Glad we saw this island.

    A local resident of Newfoundland told me that she never makes a reservation, but I find out that, although I was 2 hours early, I was put in a standby lane for the next ferry, leaving not this same evening, but the following day in the evening.

    I would change the wording from "strongly recommended to having a reservation" to "absolutely needing to have a reservation" because of this.

    The toll-free number is on their website, and it cost nothing additional to make a reservation, so do it to avoid a big hassle.
