St. John New Brunswick has a rich history as a major shipbuilding center. Today visitors come to see St. John to watch the reversal of the Fundy tide. At low tide the river flows normally, but when the tide comes in the river flows in reverse. It takes a couple hours to watch the whole process, but it is well worth your patience to watch a river flow both ways.
Rural New Brunswick is home to several young wineries. Along with blueberries and Christmas trees, the region is excellent for growing grapes—particularly for ice wine. In addition to the pastoral delights of mainland New Brunswick , the province features several interesting islands that can be reached by car ferry. They include Campobello Island, former summer home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt , Deer Island , home of the largest tidal pool in the Western Hemisphere, Miscou Island with its fiery-red peat bogs, and Jourimain Island , home to a unique bird sanctuary.
