Introduction
Point Wolfe Bridge & Beach is located in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada. It features a historic wooden bridge and a serene beach. Built in the early 20th century, the bridge once served as a key route for local logging, and today it is one of the most iconic photo spots in the park. Visitors can walk across the bridge to overlook the stunning view of the Point Wolfe River flowing into the Bay of Fundy, or head down to the beach to experience the world's highest tides. The striking red bridge against the lush forest and tidal flats creates a perfect blend of nature and culture, making it a must-visit for hiking, photography, or tide-watching.
