Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Ideal base to vacation in Eastern Canada - Sackville is at the geographic center of the Canadian Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island). We are 1 hour to Prince Edward Island (PEI - home of Anne of Green Gables) , 2 hours to Halifax. Sackville is the home of Mount Allison University, repeatedly recognized as the #1 undergraduate university in Canada.
Perfectly located to enjoy nature, we are situated beside the famed Tantramar Marsh, (one of the largest tidal saltmarshes on the Atlantic coast of North America), and are about an hour from the Bay of Fundy, where you can walk on the ocean floor and experience the highest tides in the world. The Bay of Fundy and its unique rocks formations were a finalists in the recent new seven wonders of the world contest (http://sevennaturalwonders.org/north-america/bay-of-fundy/).
Warm summer beaches are only 30 minutes away. Sand, lobster, fishing, boating, sailing. Silver Lake (2km away) is a beautiful kayaking spot, and you could use our two kayaks. Numerous golf courses within easy reach. Near to PEI's Confederation Bridge (9 miles long), Anne of Green Gables, Fundy National Park. Quiet neighborhood, but only 25 minutes from major shopping area in Moncton, 90 minutes to Charlottetown, 2 hours to Saint John, Fredericton, Miramichi. Many cultural attractions, university town. Fall colors.
