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.
