The 8 Island Experience

At 8 Islands & Coastal View Cottage, the experience is about slowing down and soaking in the Bay of Fundy landscape. Set on a quiet private lane away from traffic, the cottage offers a level of peace and seclusion that’s hard to find. 


In every season, you can enjoy calm mornings, still evenings, and the simple magic of watching the tides turn across the water.
