Heart of Sackville Guide - Staghorn Suite
Food Scene
Sip a coffee with your breakfast sandwich at Cranewood Bakery, or try the tasty new Kurdish spot (Fener's Place) for supper.
Fresh, plentiful, and inexpensive bibimbap or seafood udon are two of my top Sackville choices, and they can both be found at Song's Chopsticks.
The Black Duck folks at 19/21 Bridge St offer Quality Groceries and coffee, sometimes a restaurant in their dynamic and always good set of businesses.
All just a few minutes' walk from the apartment.
Bistro Chat Bleu & Wild Caraway are a bit of a drive, but also worth it!
*I've tried to provide up-to-date info on local businesses, but it is always a good idea to check in with them before making plans.
If you find yourself hungry for lunch while visiting our neighboring town of Amherst, I recommend stopping in at the Art of Eating Deli. Very good paninis, wraps, salads and soups. Daily specials include shawarma, curry, fish cakes, chowder... Gluten free options are available, the coffee is good, and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Eat-in, or to-go.

If taking a daytrip along the fundy shore (highly recommended!), ask me about waterfall hikes and this restaurant.

Drinks & Nightlife
Ducky's for local draught selection, and Thunder & Lightning for a more intimate living-room feel, great cocktails and music shows.
Great draught selection, including local microbrews. Order some wood fired pizza to be brought over from next door! Lots of great seating options and TVs if youre into sports. Sometimes live music. Frequented by a broad age range, comfortable for everyone.

Parks & Nature
The Sackville Waterfowl Park is a must-see, and so close (just a minute's walk from your door). There are many other options to explore as well!
Perfect for a walk or run--explore our boardwalks through beautiful birches. Popular birding spot.

This looks far away on this map, but it's not (just a very long trail). Start in the waterfowl park, and follow the trail up to Silver Lake and beyond! Perfect for cycling, and nearby on-leash dog walking. The trail starts at the foot of Weldon (there is a sign), but you can get to it more quickly by going down Morgan. Part of the Trans Canada Trail.

Especially fun in the late spring to fall--the Saturday market relocates here then, and there is a splash pad, swings, fountain, picnic tables, and bandstand. Popular with the kids.

Find fossils on the beach and come for a guided tour (check tide tables and website). UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Fossil Cliffs at Joggins, Nova Scotia, contain an unrivalled fossil record preserved in its environmental context, which represents the finest example in the world of the terrestrial tropical environment and ecosystems of the Pennsylvanian Coal Age of the Earth’s history. Great interpretive centre (cafe is on-site).

Beech Hill Park is nice... especially for a picnic (has tables and washrooms), games (some kind of Frisbee basket game is set up), sledding, or a hike (has trails). ***BUT*** ask me about the *other* Walker Road trails on the other side of the same exit: longer woodsy trail walks, snowshoe trails, warming huts, and excellent cross country trails (including a groomed trail).

Would you like to walk the dykes on the marsh, and view the Bay of Fundy tides? Head down the dirt road next to the Public Works garage on Crescent. Dogs and dog owners especially love the vast open spaces here!
