Northumberland Strait or Bay of Fundy?

In a corner of New Brunswick there are two totally different seaside experiences within a mere one hour drive.

The upper Bay of Fundy boast the most dramatic vertical tidal swings in the world, fifty feet or more, as the tide funnells between the coast of New Brunswick and the coast of Nova Scotia. The waters of the Bay of Fundy are deep and cold. It's a rugged coast with stunning views and bathing in the water is not for the timid.

The waters of the Northumberland Strait are shallow between the coast of New Brunswick and the Coast of Prince Edward Island. The tidal range of two to six feet allow the sun to warm the shallow sea water which in summer is the warmest on the East coast, North of the Carolinas. The beaches are broad and sandy though in some areas are irregular with fingers of soft sandstone jutting towards the water.

I am representing the owners of a seaside chalet in Grande-Digue, Kent County, New Brunswick which is listed for sale at $319,900 on the Multiple Listing Service®. This impressive custom built residence is designed for year round living and offers many features not found in ordinary houses.Find the full details at www.GrandeDigue.info.
