There is a parking lot right there at the beach by the caves--right beside the restaurant on the beach. There is no charge for parking, nor is there a charge for walking out to the caves. You can see the caves from the parking lot and you just walk out to them. Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes as the beach is quite rocky. There is also a little stream to cross half way out to the caves but there is ususally a board there to walk on so your feet won't get wet. You can leave your car in the parking lot and then walk back up the road to visit the covered bridges and take some lovely pictures.
The view from the lighthouse in St. Martins is also beautiful. Just ask any local person how to get there. People are very friendly and approachable here in New Brunswick. The miniature horse farm is not far from the lighthouse and they welcome visitors. Children love the horses.
If you drive a further 10 or 15 minutes beyond St. Martins you will come to the Fundy Parkway. There is a nominal charge to enter (haven't driven out for a few years but it was a couple of dollars) and you can then park in various lots along the trail and walk sections or descend by stairs to the beach to enjoy the view there. This is not part of Fundy National Park---that is located further up the coast. There is a visitors' centre at the end of the Parkway at Salmon River---a very pretty spot.
I hope you enjoy your day in our area!!!
I'm going there myself and I was checking Google Street View and I saw the Restaurant. Signs outside it say Restaurant Parking Only. So where can I really park without them towing my car or bothering me or the car?
