Mary’s Point, the cornerstone of the Shepody National Wildlife area, has for many years been recognized internationally as a staging area for several species of shorebirds making their winter migration to South America.  A brief visit and a few pictures of the shorebirds concludes most peoples visit to Mary’s Point; but our destination is the three islands that lie beyond the “roosting” site.

As we walk through one of the Bay of Fundy’s most spectacular landscapes ( especially at low tide when the reef is exposed), we will also discover a lesser know side of Mary’s Point. Old stone foundations, quarries, and the remains of abandoned wharves, provide evidence of a once prosperous era.  Petrified wood, fossilized plants and uniquely shaped sandstone, all exposed and carved by the incessant and powerful tides of Fundy, further enrich our visit.

Here to, a life and death struggle may play out before our eyes, as Peregrine Falcons and Merlins dive into the hoards of shorebirds that have congregated at the high water line. We consider this hike to be the best in all of the Upper Bay of Fundy.
