Herring Cove Provincial Park

A Beach Park On Campobello Island With A Long Sandy Beach, A Campground, A Golf Course, Rocky Headlands And Fog And Tides Typical Of The Bay Of Fundy. An Island Park Next To The Roosevelt Campobello Site, Reached By A Bridge From The United States · Campobello Island, New Brunswick

Herring Cove Provincial Park lies on the southern side of Campobello Island in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, beside the Roosevelt Campobello International Park (confirm the position). The island is reached only by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge from Lubec, Maine, so visitors from Canada cross the United States border twice on the way in and out (confirm the rules). The park holds a long, curving sand and shingle beach, rocky headlands, a golf course set above the shore, a campground in spruce woods and trails to lookouts over the bay. The Fundy tides are among the highest in the world, the water is cold, and fog is frequent, so walking, birdwatching and whale spotting suit the place better than swimming. Seabirds, seals and whales feed offshore from summer to autumn. It is a quiet, windy island park with the Roosevelt summer cottage and the East Quoddy lighthouse close by.

Herring Cove operates as a seasonal provincial park, with the gate, campground and washrooms normally open from about late May or June to early or mid October, so confirm the exact dates with New Brunswick provincial parks before you travel. The golf course keeps its own calendar and closes earlier in autumn. Outside the season the access road may be gated and services shut, although the beach and trails are often reached on foot. Border crossing hours at Lubec and ferry timetables change by season, so check them before a day trip (confirm).
