Here you will find the famous red-and-white striped lighthouse, picnicking facilities, outhouses and the start of a two-mile hiking trail that follows the 90-foot high rocky cliffs to Carrying Place Cove. Grand Manan's 400-foot cliffs are right in front of you. Carrying Place Cove has some nice sandy beaches at low tide and on the northern end is a true Arctic bog with insectivorous plants. Carrying Place Cove: This pretty cove along the highway offers beautiful sunsets, as well as vast intertidal mud flats at low tide. Here, migrating shorebirds are plentiful on their annual journeys between north and south. Also, the local clamming industry benefits from the clam seeding project that takes place in this cove.
