I hiked from my campsite to the lighthouse my first morning on the island. The views were amazing. It was so peaceful and serene. It was foggy the other two mornings but my partner went with me the next time and we sat and watched the fog roll over the island. It was very cool. Highly recommend this lighthouse and make sure to stop at the gift shop to support the upkeep and find some unique souvenirs.

My family and I hit all the beaches and hot spots on the island and the beach at Anchorage was my favorite. Miles of sand and so peaceful. Afterwards we took a drive through the bird sanctuary which is beautiful as well.
5. Long Eddy Point Lighthouse

This lighthouse area is always mentioned on tourist sites as the best place to see the sunset and for several years, it's where we went to watch them when we were visiting Grand Manan. The lighthouse itself is a modern structure and not photographic like some others on the island. But for sunsets, continue down the road just a bit further and off to the right you'll see a parking area at the bottom of a small hill. Pull in there and there's a long wooden bench for people to sit and watch the amazing sunsets from here. The best part was that this is where the "locals" go to watch the sunsets and they were so awesome - telling us all kinds of great stories, how the fishing season is going, explaining how the aquaculture around the island works, recommending where to eat... We took some AMAZING sunset photos night after night after night and there's a great beach there that you can walk down to and do some beachcombing while you wait for the sun to set.

The best views we saw on our relatively short trip to the island. It was truly breathtaking. So worth the likely short drive from wherever you are staying on the island ❤

We usually prefer rocky beaches as they're better for beachcombing but this really is a great sandy beach and we enjoyed going for a walk and watching some surfers and some kids playing in the waves. Also found a bit of sea glass which is always fun.

There are two types of people in this world - some will no doubt see this area as run down shacks with no paint and old fishing gear piled up everywhere - others (like us) will spend hours here photographing every angle of these buildings, catching the reflection of the stilts and boats in the water. We found it magical! Bring your camera!!!
