Saint Martins

The Caves

My Mother would have been scandalized to learn that we drove 70 miles round trip for a bowl of fish chowder. Saint Martins is a former fishing port that is restyling itself as a tourist destination. This is a quaint village, not a theme park. The road from Saint John passes through rural enclaves along wooded roads and nearer the coast steep hills. Having picked a day without fog sunshine was more than we could hope for. Our seats on the restaurant patio had to be towel dried but the view of the sea caves was worth the effort. Having arrived an hour before high tide we were not able to walk out onto the beach for a close-up view.
