Amazing location... Loved it!! Has all the fun that the place claims on their website. Nice friendly staff, beautiful drive inside the park, clean beach, 3 waterfalls, walking trails, bike trails, washrooms at almost every parking stop, ample parking. There are 15 parking areas, one at every major attraction, which kinda made it convenient with kids & elders.
Downside:
Park closes at 5pm, which makes the place a bit expensive, we paid $28 CAD for 1 car entry. Plus this makes the pleasant trip time bound & everyone's seen rushing between sites rather than stopping to enjoy this beauty.
Place can be improved having more signs for trails marking alternative & shorter routes to sites for kids/elders.
Bonus:
Drive across town of St. Martins is a beauty. Fortunate for us, it was low tide so we got to stop & explore the Fundy caves !!
Must visit place if you are in Atlantic...

Read moreIt's a spectacular drive and most breathtaking views. I will go back every year. BUT....Make sure you are back to the gate by the time specified on the information sheet they give you. They did not mention it to us, we had intended on using the road to Sussex at the end but when we reached it they shut it down and blocked it off. We had to turn and drive back to the beginning. When we got back to the gate we and 7 other cars were locked inside. They close the gate and lock it when they leave. It's triple locked and no way of getting around it. Someone called Crave restaurant and they called the grounds keeper, who live somewhere inside the park. He came and unlocked it, after 2...
