Fundy: Where Tides Reign Supreme

Fundy National Park is defined by the world's highest tides. Twice a day, the Bay of Fundy's water level changes by up to 16 metres (52 ft). This creates the unique experience of walking on the ocean floor among sea stacks at low tide, and hours later, kayaking far above the very same spot. The park's entire ecosystem is shaped by this immense daily force. #Canada #Fundy #NewBrunswick #HighTides 🇨🇦

This has a few nodes to click around. In New Brunswick, but you can see Nova Scotia. The Bay of Fundy and a salt water marsh, with winds that sweep across to the Northumberland Strait, are visible. This place has stories to tell, and is another historic area in which the French and English battled and in which the Americans were prevented from advancing. :)
