Bull Head is a small island located in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada. Situated in the Bay of Fundy, it is one of the many islands that dot the coastline of this picturesque region. The island gets its name from its distinct shape resembling the head of a bull.

Covering an area of approximately 5 hectares, Bull Head is known for its rugged and rocky terrain. The island is uninhabited, and its natural beauty remains untouched by human development. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers due to its diverse wildlife and bird populations. Visitors can spot a variety of seabirds, including gulls, cormorants, and terns, as well as occasional sightings of seals and dolphins in the surrounding waters.

Access to Bull Head is limited to private boats or guided tours, as there are no public transportation services to the island. The island does not have any facilities or amenities, making it necessary for visitors to bring their own supplies and take precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip.

In addition to its natural beauty, Bull Head is also of geological interest. The island features sandstone cliffs and formations, providing a glimpse into the region's geological history. The tides of the Bay of Fundy, known for having the highest tidal range in the world, have sculpted the island's shoreline over millions of years, creating unique landscapes and rock formations.

For those seeking a serene and untouched natural environment, Bull Head offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by the beauty of the Bay of Fundy.
