Blacks Harbour is a coastal community where working boats, sea breezes, and Bay of Fundy views shape everyday life. Residents enjoy quick access to the ferry for day trips to Grand Manan via the year-round service operated by Coastal Transport, perfect for whale watching and beachcombing. Commuters appreciate that Saint John is under an hour away along Highway 1, while nearby St. George and Saint Andrews offer additional dining, shopping, and historic strolls. Outdoor time comes easy here, from shoreline walks around the harbour to sandy afternoons at New River Beach Provincial Park.
Families will find strong local schooling options. Blacks Harbour School serves younger learners and is part of the Anglophone South School District, which supports academics, arts, and athletics across the region. Older students typically continue their studies in neighboring communities, broadening extracurricular and program choices. Weekends often revolve around hockey, community events, and exploring coastal science at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in Saint Andrews.
Seafood is a point of pride, with a heritage of boatbuilding and processing that continues to anchor the local economy. Housing ranges from century homes with ocean glimpses to newer builds tucked along quiet streets, and the pace of life rewards those who value salt air and close-knit connections. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a proven local real estate professional to help you make the most of your move in Blacks Harbour.
