The Anchorage Provincial Park is on Grand Manan Island, with an official park address on Anchorage Road. NB Parks describes a Bay of Fundy island park with hiking and cycling trails, geology, wildlife, ocean scenery, camping, birdwatching, and beachcombing.
The Anchorage is a good choice for visitors who want a coastal island park with both campground facilities and natural-history stops. The official page highlights interpretive displays, birdwatching blinds, salmon cages, breaching whales in nearby ocean waters, and the accessible Red Point Trail boardwalk.
Birding is one of the clearest reasons to visit. NB Parks calls the island a birdwatchers' paradise with sightings of up to 275 species. The page also encourages visitors to bring binoculars, explore seabird nests, watch for whales, visit lighthouses, walk the ocean floor, kayak, and beachcomb.
Camping is part of the park's appeal. The campground includes a range of camping options, tent cabins, panoramic bay views, washrooms, showers, laundry facilities, a kitchen shelter, hiking trails, a playground, and picnicking. Trail notes add Long Pond bird blinds, Great Pond, Anchorage Beach, Ox Head, Bagley, boardwalks, bog edges, beach flats, ducks, sedimentary cliffs, and ocean views.
Bring binoculars for the bird blinds and shoreline viewpoints.
