Gull Cliff

Highlight • Viewpoint

Perched at the southern tip of Grand Manan Island, Gull Cliff rises 18 meters above the Bay of Fundy. Your view is met with the sea stretching out to the southwest and nearby headlands climbing higher to the north. Remote and sparsely settled, the area is dotted with islands and coastal landforms that add to its rugged charm.

Southwest Head Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Standing high above the cliffs at the southern tip of Grand Manan Island, the Southwest Head Lighthouse has guided mariners through the Bay of Fundy since 1880. Originally built as a wooden tower, it was later replaced in 1959 with the modern square structure that still marks the headland today. Though the tower itself is closed, the grounds remain open, offering sweeping views of Fundy’s rugged coastline and a chance to connect with one of New Brunswick’s most storied lights.

Flock of Sheep Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Flock of Sheep Trail on Grand Manan Island is a short but striking coastal hike where geology and legend meet. Along the cliffs, massive white granite boulders rest atop dark lava spires and were named by fishermen who thought they resembled a flock of sheep. The 1.8 km path winds through forest and shoreline, with benches overlooking the dramatic Bay of Fundy. Though the terrain can be uneven local caretakers keep it well maintained, and the views of jagged cliffs, tidal beaches, and weir poles make it a memorable walk.
