Anthonys Cove

Tucked along the storied shores of the Bay of Fundy, Anthonys Cove graces New Brunswick’s southern coast with understated charm and absolute warmth. Just minutes from the bustle of Saint John yet worlds away in atmosphere, this coastal locality captures the quiet poetry of Maritime life. Salty breezes blend with the tang of spruce as fishing boats glide into the small harbour, revealing the living connection between sea and community that defines Anthonys Cove’s spirit.

Wander along the winding shoreline trail and you’ll find sweeping views of the Fundy tides, changing colour and character with every hour. At low tide, the ocean retreats to reveal a labyrinth of tidal pools, perfect for discovering tiny sea creatures or collecting polished driftwood. The well-loved wharf serves as the town’s lively heart when weather warms, with local musicians gathering Friday evenings for impromptu jams while neighbours share laughter over baskets of just-caught lobster at the cove’s dockside café.

Artful touches abound—from the vivid murals splashed along Main Street to the converted lighthouse gallery, where local artists display works inspired by the land and the shifting sea. Each July, the Anthonys Cove Maritime Festival brings old traditions to life, filling the shore with the sounds of Acadian fiddles, the aroma of outdoor seafood boils, and artisanal craft stalls as the sun lingers late over the harbour.

Anthonys Cove invites travellers not just to visit, but to savour the easy pace and warm hospitality of a community deeply rooted in its landscape. Whether you’re wandering quiet rocky beaches or savouring a home-cooked meal with a view, this welcoming town promises the authentic coastal experience at the heart of New Brunswick.
