Rice Fuller fell in love with Waterside Beach after he moved to New Brunswick from New York City.
The two kilometres of sandy shores are nestled between Alma and Cape Enrage on the Fundy Coast. At low tide, there can be more than 500 metres of red sand between the grassy dunes and the crashing waves.
“I just don’t think I’ve ever seen a beach this big, this open and with so few people on it,” said Fuller, who eventually built a house nearby.
“I have this one amazing memory of being here on Canada Day a few years back with my two children. We were the only three people on this huge beach on Canada Day though, no less.”
