Alma is a small coastal community where fishing boats, forested hills, and record-breaking Bay of Fundy tides set the daily rhythm. On the edge of extraordinary wilderness, the village doubles as the gateway to Fundy National Park, with waterfalls, beaches, and more than 100 km of trails easily reached from town. Watch the fleet settle on the ocean floor at low tide along the working Alma Harbour, then time your seaside walks with official Bay of Fundy tide tables to experience the shore at its most dramatic. Weekends often mean scenic drives to Moncton or Saint John, but many residents happily stay close to home for stargazing, kayaking, and strolls to the lighthouse.
Families benefit from close-knit schools serving the area: younger students attend Riverside Consolidated School in nearby Riverside-Albert, while older learners head to Caledonia Regional High School. Both are part of the Anglophone East School District, which anchors extracurriculars and student support across Albert County. When company visits, locals point them to Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park to see flowerpot formations sculpted by the world’s highest tides, then back to Fundy National Park for snowshoeing or a summertime swim at Bennett Lake.
If you’re considering a move, Alma offers an outdoor-forward lifestyle with welcoming neighbours and four-season adventure. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top real estate professional who knows the local market inside and out.
