Description
The Bay of Fundy is a spectacular bay on Canada's Atlantic coast, renowned for having the highest tidal range on Earth. Twice each day, the water rises and falls by as much as 16 metres, shaping a remarkable coastal landscape of towering cliffs, expansive tidal flats, and the iconic Hopewell Rocks. Along the Fundy Trail Parkway, visitors are rewarded with breathtaking views of the rugged shoreline, while the bay's nutrient-rich waters provide seasonal habitat for a diverse array of marine wildlife, including up to twelve species of whales. Combining extraordinary natural phenomena with outstanding opportunities for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife watching, the Bay of Fundy ranks among North America's most impressive coastal destinations.
