The scenic peninsula stretching southwest from Digby toward Brier Island rests between the great tides of the Bay of Fundy and placid St. Mary’s Bay. Known as a nature-lover’s paradise, this unspoiled area has many opportunities for hiking and exploring small waterfront settlements. The marsh at Seawall provides a home for many species of summer birds and is a wonderful place to set up your easel to paint. The narrowest part of the “neck” can be found in Sandy Cove, with a wharf on both bodies of water and a beautiful sand beach on the Bay of Fundy side.
