Alma Beach is a shoreline on the Bay of Fundy within Fundy National Park, near the village of Alma. The beach is characterized by the world's highest tides, which dramatically alter the landscape and access to the water. A 100-meter wooden boardwalk with viewpoints and benches leads to the mouth of the Upper Salmon River, providing a primary viewing and access point. For paddlers launching from shore, the beach itself is the put-in. The carry distance from the nearest accessible parking space, located 75 meters from the boardwalk, to the water's edge will vary enormously with the tide, from a very short walk at high tide to a potentially long carry across exposed mudflats at low tide. The beach is within easy walking distance of the village amenities, including shops and restaurants. The overall character of a paddle from Alma Beach is defined by the immense tidal forces of the Bay of Fundy. Paddlers must plan their launch and return times meticulously around the tide tables to avoid being stranded by the rapidly receding water or confronting dangerous currents. The water is cold year-round due to the bay's northern latitude. The scenery includes dramatic coastal views of the bay's cliffs and forested shoreline. Wildlife sightings may include seabirds. The beach offers a direct launch point for exploring the bay's coastline or the nearby river mouth. As it is within Fundy National Park, general park rules apply. Local outfitters and kayak guides in the area offer rentals and guided tours.
