An hour outside Saint John on the Fundy Coastal Drive will bring you to the charming, fishing village of St. Martins. Set on the Bay of Fundy, visitors love exploring the miles of unspoiled beaches, learning about fresh and salt water fishing, the active harbour with its twin covered bridges, and the sea caves and salt marshes. Also, drive the Fundy Trail to previously unreachable coastal areas and take in the natural beauty. Popular activities in St. Martins include biking, bird watching, hiking, nature walks, rock hounding, and sea kayaking

Looking to camp with a tent-trailer. Coming from Ottawa, haven’t been out East since I was 10. Coming with my family, looking to go to the Bay of Fundy(reversing falls etc). Not sure where to camp? Any recommendations?
Bay of Fundy
Personally, I don’t have much experience camping in NB. However, I know that Deer Island Point Park campground is bit of a hidden gem. It might be too far away from the places you want to visit though. I suggest you start with some of the following links. Please contact me if you’re still left wondering where to go after that and I’ll reach out to some of our travel experts.

Who do I contact for summer whale-watching tours out of St. Martins?
Bay of Fundy
Actually, I don’t believe there are any. St. Andrews would be the closest spot to go whale watching from (see: https://www.bayoffundy.com/listings/area/st-andrews/type/whale-watching/).
