It had been a long time since I’d been to Deer Island, although as a child, we went a lot to visit family. I finally made it back this week, and it was as I remembered it. Deer island is located in the Bay of Fundy, a half-hour ferry ride from L’Etete, near St.George. The ferry is open air and probably hold about 25-30 cars, less if there are big commercial trucks.

The island is fairly small, under 1000 people, which makes for a friendly atmosphere. If you drive on, be ready to give a one- or two-finger wave from your steering wheel to each car you pass, or anyone you see outside. 😊

The island is very easy to navigate as it only has one main road. There are two forks in the road, but these connect again, so no matter which way you take, you can get to your destination.

While there, you MUST try the fish’n’chips or local seafood (lobster, scallops, etc). I ate at Pilgrim’s Take-out in Lord’s Cove, which is on Cook Road. There was just a sign that said Takeout to indicate where to go, but if you don’t see it, just ask. Everyone will know 😊

I’m posting from my phone right now, so I’m limited in the pictures I can post. I have lots more on my camera, which I’ll add later.

If you like natural views, fishing villages and peaceful places, you should visit.   The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, so even just staying long enough for high tide and low tide will give you amazing before/after pictures.

You can enjoy whale watching tours, kayaking, hiking and I have friends that LOVE the scuba diving. Stay tuned for more pics in about a week; until then, here’s the last of my phone pictures:
