The Village of Alma is the front door to Fundy National Park. Here you'll find places to stay, eat, and stock up on supplies. In the busy summer season be sure to book early, it's a popular place.
Alma beach is a great beach for rock hounding.
When the tide is out you can walk out to a large sandbar which still holds back a fairly large tidal pool, you can get more than your feet wet here. In the background of the photo at right you can see Owls head, a high rock face, here the odd fossil can be viewed by interested visitors. But watch yourself, when the tide starts to come in, keep your eye on where you are or you might get caught with more water than you know what to do with. The Upper Salmon river runs down from the highlands to a beautiful grassland area just at the entrance to the park. From the headquarters campground in the park, a trail leads you to an area of the river that's great for swimming.
