City of Saint John
An old Canadian port city on the Bay of Fundy, where massive tides create the Reversing Falls, and the red-brick old town preserves Loyalist history.
Saint John is located on the Bay of Fundy on the southern coast of New Brunswick, Canada, where the Saint John River meets the sea. It is a historic port city. The Bay of Fundy has an extreme tidal range, which reverses the flow of the river during high and low tides, creating the famous Reversing Falls. The Uptown Trinity Royal Historic Preservation Area preserves 19th-century brick and stone buildings, and the Saint John City Market, Loyalist House, and King's Square are well worth a visit. Irving Nature Park and Rockwood Park are ideal for getting close to nature, and the Carleton Martello Tower offers views over the harbor. The climate is best from June to September. The gateway is Saint John Airport, and cruise ships also frequently call here.
