Show Description:
In this episode of the RV Canucks Podcast, Melina takes you to one of Canada’s most spectacular East Coast destinations—Fundy National Park, nestled along the Bay of Fundy in southern New Brunswick. Known for having the highest tides in the world, lush Acadian forest, and charming coastal villages, Fundy is the kind of place that sticks with you long after your RV has rolled on.
We’ll dive into the best camping loops for RVers (yes, Cannontown gets a mention), the top day hikes, and what to expect when you explore the ever-changing shoreline. Plus, you’ll get a feel for the village of Alma, the beating heart just outside the park gates—home to world-famous sticky buns, salty breezes, and locals who carry on its maritime story.
Melina also sits down with Kris Kelly, owner of Timber & Tides Mercantile, a beautiful shop in Alma offering coastal-inspired goods, fishing and camping supplies, and a warm welcome. Kris shares some of the can’t-miss places around town, talks about the spirit of the area, and gives a personal glimpse into Alma’s evolving identity—as someone proudly tied to one of its most recognizable family names.
