Castalia Marsh

Ready for a birding adventure? Hop on a ferry at Blacks Harbour and head on over to Castalia Marsh on Grand Manan Island, known for its stunning scenery and birding hotspots. Wide-open spaces provide unobstructed views for bird-watching—which you’ll be doing a lot of, considering 254 species have been spotted here. While the most common include Herring Gulls, Brants, Semipalmated Sandpipers, and Common Eiders, you might be lucky enough to spot some Atlantic Puffins, Arctic Terns or Northern Fulmars.
