The Amazing Bay of Fund

Located between Canada’s Nova Scotia and New Brunswick provinces, and touching the United States’ Maine, the Bay of Fundy is popularly known for its extremely high tides due to the size of the bay area. About 100 billion tons of seawater crash into the shore every day, causing the water levels to rise and fall by as much as 48 feet high. Centuries of water have carved the dramatic shapes of the boulders, which are evident during low tides. The Fundy Coast has miles of shoreline, making it great for picnicking. People can spend the day picking up fresh lobsters, enjoying a bottle of wine, and a few treats with family or friends.

The best time to enjoy the Bay of Fundy is in the summertime. In late July, you will witness about 30,000 migrating sandpipers descending on Mary’s Point; mid-August gathers Maritime musician for the Rising Tide Festival; from June to September, the weather is pleasant, making it perfect for camping, picnics, and water activities like swimming, sailing, or kayaking.
