Fodor's Expert Review Brier Island Lodge and Restaurant

Atop a bluff at Nova Scotia's most westerly point, this three-building complex commands a panoramic view of the Bay of Fundy. Rooms are comfortable enough and most overlook the water, but you'll likely spend the bulk of your time outside. Whale- and bird-watching and hiking are the top activities; closer to home there are hens, goats, sheep, and some friendly dogs to delight children. Seafood is a specialty in the attractive restaurant.
