Head Harbour Lightstation
Follow an adventure that begins with kayaking the sun-kissed wavelets of Friars Bay and leads to the oldest lighthouse, East Quoddy Light Station. It’s nothing less than transcendence for those who revel in the echo of waves and the suspense of an ocean floor revealed at low tide.

Herring Cove Golf Course
Imagine wandering beneath green canopies in Herring Cove Provincial Park or feeling the rare, black sand between your toes. These are moments that offer a sweet pause—a chance to breathe deeply and find nature’s unrestricted beauty. The park, with its trails, such as Rock of Gibraltar Trail, quiet camping spots, and 9-hole seaside golf course, is indeed a playground for the young of heart and spirit.
