Visiting Grand Manan Island & It's 3 Lighthouses

A small island in the Bay of Fundy,

beautiful beaches, friendly people and

 surrounded by unspoiled nature.

Grand Manan is close to the

 Gulf of Maine, U.S,A, 

 on the Atlantic Coast. 

I went with my daughter and family 

and sister Annie. for a day trip to the Island.

We took a ferry from Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick,

 1 1/2 hr. ferry crossing,

Whale watching and other
 marine sea life from on deck.
Suzanne was allowed to bring
Cute Dog Pinot, as long as they
stayed on deck.

As we approach the Island,

 we have a fantastic view of

Swallowtail Lighthouse

We had lunch at "Food For Thought".
Homemade, healthy food.

Annie and I had chicken wraps,

with fresh fruit for dessert.

We drove to the South tip of the Island

 and visited our first lighthouse.

Southwest Head Lighthouse.

Built on a cliff

Rugged coastal beauty

High cliffs

We visit some beaches on the way.

We drove back,  to get the ferry to the mainland.

 We did visit some souvenir shops. 

A large selection of beautiful things.

 Fishing buoys are popular for

 decoration on the Island.

Goodbye to a lovely Island 

and we head back to the mainland.

A day to remember
on this quiet, peaceful,
and lost in time, Island.
