Introducing Digby Neck
Craning out to take a peek into the Bay of Fundy, Digby Neck is a giraffe’s length strip of land that’s a haven for whale- and seabird-watchers. At the far western end of the appendage are Long and Brier Islands, connected by ferry with the rest of the peninsula.

Plankton stirred up by the strong Fundy tides attracts finback, minke and humpback whales and this is the best place in the world to see the endangered North Atlantic right whale. Blue whales, the world’s largest animal, are also sighted on occasion plus you’re almost certain to see plenty of seals.
Bring plenty of warm clothing (regardless of how hot a day it seems), sunblock and binoculars. A motion-sickness pill taken before leaving the dock may not be a bad idea either.
