We were on Grand Manan about 5 yrs ago in February and boy was it cold.
However, it was delightful. We stayed at the only B&B that was open (and we
had to convince them to let us stay) -- It was fun. Nothing special, but
clean and it had hot water and heat! The people were very nice and helped us
find a place to have dinner, a place to get a few maps and they even walked
us to a store where we could buy a few groceries for picnics (although it
turned out to be too cold for that). We did, however, really enjoy walking
the perimeter of the island and hiking inland where we could (without too
much ice). The people were all very kind - I'm sure they thought we were
kooks to be there at that time of year and to be hiking... I think about 2
nights would be enough and don't forget to walk to the lighthouse - very
romantic place.
If you like quiet and beautiful, unspoiled coastline, you'll like it here. (BTW - it's not too far from the Bay of Fundy Nat. Park and that's great to walk around, too!) Good luck. Susie Newton, MA |
