Herring Cove Beach Trail
A short stair descent from coastal forest to a cobble beach and Bay of Fundy shoreline.
Route overview
Herring Cove Beach Trail in Bay of Fundy / Atlantic Canada.
The trail drops from the picnic area through forest to Herring Cove Beach. Its distance is brief, but stairs, wet cobbles, waves and the return ascent make it more demanding than a flat beach access walk.
