IN OUR ELEMENT | Long Pond Trail

There’s something special about a trail that takes you from the heart of the forest to the edge of the sea.

This week’s In Our Element adventure brings us to the Long Pond Trail at The Anchorage Provincial Park, one of Grand Manan’s beautiful little escapes.

Tucked beneath a canopy of towering trees, the trail winds through peaceful woodland before opening up to the quiet beauty of Long Pond. Along the way, there are little surprises worth stopping for — an impressive old tree with branches stretching in every direction, wildflowers buzzing with busy bees, and a rustic lookout offering a picture-perfect view across the pond.

And just when you think you’ve seen the best of it, the landscape gives way to the island’s beautiful shoreline, where weathered driftwood, smooth stones, and endless blue skies tell their own stories.

It’s the kind of walk where the little details are just as memorable as the big views.

One of the things we love most about Grand Manan is how much the scenery can change in such a short distance. From the stillness of the woods to the wide-open Bay of Fundy, there’s always something new around the next bend.

A little fresh air, a little exploring, and a reminder that some of the best things on the island don’t cost a thing.

Dinner with a View

Good food, fresh ocean air, and a view that never gets old.

No reservations needed, no rush to be anywhere… just beautiful sunsets, and island time.

Sometimes the best table in town is right here.

In Our Element | Apple-Picking Season

Sometimes the sweetest fall moments are found right outside the cottage door.

The apple trees in front of the cottages are full of little treasures this time of year, and there’s something so simple and nostalgic about reaching up, picking an apple straight from the branch, and enjoying the season exactly as it comes.

Crisp air, warm sunshine, rosy apples and little hands eager to pick just one more.

Fall on Grand Manan has a quieter kind of magic — slower days, changing leaves, cozy evenings and those simple moments that somehow become the ones you remember most.

This week, we’re In Our Element right here at Oceans Oasis.

October nights were made for this.

Cool island air, warm string lights, and a hot tub waiting at the end of the day. There’s something extra special about slowing down outside when the evenings turn crisp and the stars come out a little earlier.

Fall on Grand Manan is quieter, cozier, and just the right kind of escape.

Come spend a few days tucked away by the sea — explore by day, then warm up and unwind under the night sky.

Your fall island getaway is calling.

In Our Element — The Anchorage

One of our favourite little traditions on Grand Manan happens at The Anchorage.

Throughout the week, we save up our veggie scraps, and then head down for a visit with the bunnies! It doesn’t take long before they start appearing from every direction — soon you’re completely surrounded by curious little faces waiting for a snack. Some are so friendly they’ll even eat right out of your hand!

It’s such a simple thing, but especially with little ones, it feels a bit magical every single time.

Just another one of those sweet, unexpected Grand Manan moments that makes island life so special.

Warm. Cold. Rest. Repeat.

There’s something extra magical about the Nordic cycle when the air turns crisp and fall settles over Grand Manan.

Sink into the warmth of the sauna, take the plunge into cold, then slow down and let your body rest before doing it all over again. It’s invigorating, deeply relaxing, and the perfect way to reconnect with yourself and the beautiful surroundings.

Add in cozy cottage evenings, salty ocean air and autumn colours, and you’ve got the makings of the perfect fall escape.

September & October are made for slowing down. Come experience the Nordic cycle for yourself.

In Our Element- a weekly Element Four Series

This week we followed the trail from Whistle Road to Eel Brook Falls, winding our way through sun-dappled woods as the first hints of fall started sneaking into the trees.

After a dry stretch, Eel Brook Falls was more of a gentle trickle than a waterfall — but the forest had plenty of other magic waiting for us. We climbed over rocks, explored little pools, stopped to investigate just about everything… and even stumbled upon a tiny village of fairy houses tucked among the trees.

Proof that sometimes it isn’t really about what’s waiting at the end of the trail. It’s the muddy boots, tiny discoveries, unexpected treasures and the people you wander there with.

Another little corner of Grand Manan explored.

Stay curious. Wander a little farther. You never know what you’ll find.

September magic on the Bay of Fundy

September is one of the best times of year for whale watching on Grand Manan — and lately, our guests haven’t even had to leave their cottage to catch the show.

We’ve had lots of whale sightings right from the hot tubs, with guests soaking under the open sky while watching whales pass through the bay. It doesn’t get much more magical than that.

Cooler evenings, fewer crowds, beautiful fall light and some of the best whale watching of the season… September might just be Grand Manan’s best-kept secret.

Come soak, slow down, and keep your eyes on the water.

Very limited September stays available — come experience it for yourself.

Summer may be winding down, but some of the best island days are still ahead.

September on Grand Manan has a magic all its own — crisp mornings, quieter trails, incredible whale watching, cozy evenings and that first hint of fall in the air.

Spend your days exploring the island, then come home to your own little coastal retreat. Warm up in the sauna, brave the cold plunge, wrap yourself in a robe and settle in by the fire as the evening cools.

Less rush. Fewer crowds. More time to slow down and soak it all in.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to sneak away to Grand Manan this fall… this might be it.

•September stays available
•Private beach access
•Sauna + cold plunge
