Quaco Museum

The legacy of sea captains and shipbuilders endures in the architecture of historic homes and in the Quaco Museum where the Village’s rich history is brought to life. Opened in 1978, the Quaco Museum and Library has a collection of artifacts and books that help tell the history of St. Martins and the Quaco area. This is a charitable organization so it is run entirely by unpaid volunteers.

The Marsh - Bird Watching

The Marsh is one of the best spots to visit, if you're interested in bird watching! This wide expanse of marshland is the perfect habitat for a large array of species. Some of the commonly-seen birds in the area are pheasants, grouse, ducks, eagles, gulls, and many more. Check out websites like ebird.org for rare bird alerts while on the go!

Dulse

This local delicacy might be an acquired taste, is packed full of amazing health benefits (see below) that might convince you to try it.  You can eat it dried or add it to your favorite recipes to give the an additional umami flavour. Make sure to stop by Huttges and grab a bag!


Pro Tip: See dulse somewhere else and want to try it? Get the one in a paper bag.

Hike the Irish River

Slip on your water shoes and pack a lunch. It's time to explore the unbeaten path. The route ahead of you is simple - follow the riverbank as you make your way to what locals call the "second dam", a swimming hole from many a childhood around here. 


  • Set out on your hike starting at the Hardscrabble Covered Bridge (hint: it's NOT the big brand new one, but you can see it from there) and make your way along the river's edge as the rugged red rock cliffs of the Bay of Fundy coastline give way to New Brunswick's beautiful and unique forest ecosystem.   

  • About a kilometre into your journey, you'll find a swimming hole and relaxing shore area where you can swim, sunbathe and, often times, find amazing wildlife including beaver, deer, and bald eagles. Take a dip or just sit back and listen to the river's rhythm. 

  • Make your way back the same way you came and you'll arrive at the St. Martins Harbour where you can treat yourself to an icy cold treat at Octopus Ice Cream or a delicious iced coffee at the Shipyard Café to cool off (or both - you've earned it).
