WHERE THE BAY OF FUNDY AND YOUR PERFECT VACATION BOTH BEGIN Brier Island & Brier Island Lodge B rier Island is a rugged diamond by Ryan Myson
Island is located on the most southwest- erly point of the province and sits at the entrance of the world famous Bay of Fundy. Regardless of how you are travelling to Nova Scotia whether by the CAT high-speed ferry from Bar Harbor, Maine, Brier Island it is about a two and a half hour drive from the Yarmouth Ferry Terminal. If you are coming from Saint John, New Brunswick on the Fundy Rose Ferry once in Digby you’re only about an hour and a half drive away from Brier Island once you arrive at the terminal and about a four-hour drive from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport in coming by air including your travel times on the East Ferry on Digby Neck at Tiverton on Long Island and at Freeport, where you will catch the ferry to Brier Island. Good news unlike your airfare or ferries to get to Nova Scotia these ferries are FREE! As you travel on the ferry from Freeport to Westport to the starboard you will see the Brier Island Lodge which is perched atop the cliffs of Brier Island overlook-
in Nova Scotia’s crown, home to industrious seafaring people, an amazing variety of flora and fauna, and some of the best sunsets you will ever see! Marking the entrance of the world-famous Bay of Fundy, Brier Island is a Nova Scotia’s eco-tourism destina- tion that offers visitors the opportuni- ty to explore one of the richest marine habitats and coastal environments in the world where the fishing boats still come and go as they have done for gen- erations, the whales swim by as they have done since time immemorial, and the eternal tides rise and fall like clock- work. For those who are looking for an escape from hustle and bustle, it does not matter if you visit Brier Island in the warm sunshine or cloaked in mysterious fog - you can’t help but relax and slow down while you’re here.
For those of us that might not be familiar with the geography of the East Coast of Canada, Brier
