The Hopewell Rocks
131 ch. Discovery Rd. Hopewell Cape, NB
At low tide, explore quiet coves with flowerpot-shaped rock formations bearing such curious names as 'Mother-in-Law', 'ET' and 'Lover's Arch'. Then, as the tide gently shifts, experience the wonder of nature as 100-billion tonnes of salt-water slowly fills the Bay of Fundy.
These are the highest tides in the world. And they happen twice a day....every day.
The Hopewell Rocks is a place to pause…a place to appreciate a remarkable story interwoven through time, tide, and the intricacies of nature.
Rate: Admission Charged

Albert County Museum
3940 Route 114, Hopewell Cape NB
Canada's 11th Prime Minister, R.B. Bennett, came from Albert County, along with a colorful procession of pioneers, artisans, explorers, shipbuilders, farmers, a few charlatans and one convicted axe murderer.
They all live on at the Albert County Museum.
They are a genuine slice of New Brunswick, not a reconstruction. Two buildings, the County Gaol and the old Municipal Building were built in 1845. A third, the County Court House, was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1904. This site was the centre of community life in Albert County for well over a century before becoming a museum in 1962.
