Things To Do
Roosevelt Campobello International Park
Located just across the channel from Lubec. Roosevelt Campobello International Park is a singular example of international cooperation - jointly administered, staffed, and funded by the peoples of Canada and the United States. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s magnificent summer home is preserved here in a combination indoor museum and outdoor nature park on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada. Plan to spend an hour touring the Visitor Centre, Roosevelt Cottage, and flower gardens. Spend several hours in the Park’s 1,134-hectare (2,800-acre) Natural Area, where you can explore walking trails, beaches, bogs, forest, and spectacular ocean headlands - or enjoy a picnic with an ocean or lighthouse view. Kane and Julia personally recommend the FUN tour.
Island Cruises Whale Watching
Captain Mackie serves as head of the Campobello Whale Rescue team and provides an unforgettable experience aboard his watches. Come aboard the Mister Matthew and seek out magnificent whales such as the Minke, Finback, Humpback and Northern Right Whales in the beautiful Bay of Fundy. A MUST. ** Call to reserve your spot. Pick tickets up at 2295 Rte 774. Cruise departs from Head Harbour Wharf. **
East Quoddy Lighthouse
Travel to the eastern-most tip of Campobello and you'll find East Quoddy Lighthouse, also known as Head Harbour Light Station. Only accessible during lowtide, you'll need to climb a bit for this one, so wear sneakers or hiking boots.
West Quoddy Head Lighthouse
Visit the Lighthouse Visitors Center, which occupies the first floor of the lightkeepers' quarters. There you'll find historic and interactive displays. The State park is open for visitors and boasts 541 protected coastal acres. Stunning views are available on many hiking trails and nature walks. Visit the bogs, climb the coastal trail or visit the rocky beach. You may see a whale or two.
Cohill's Inn
Kane and Julia's most favorite spot for a drink. You can catch the seals playing in the water nearby as the tide rolls in.
Lubec Brewing Co.
Visit the tasting room to find a pint that strikes your fancy or check out the restaurant for a flight and some fancy fare.
Monica's Chocolates
You'll find chocolate here, obviously, but you might find some other pretty interesting stuff, too.
