Frequently asked questions
What to do in Alma, New Brunswick?
Visit Fundy National Park, see the boats resting on the harbour floor at low tide, and go to Hopewell Rocks and Cape Enrage.
How far is Alma from Hopewell Rocks?
About 45 km, around a 45-minute drive.
Is Alma a good base for Fundy National Park?

At low tide the water recedes so much that the harbour dries and the boats rest on the seabed until the tide returns.
