Bay of Fundy

The Bay of Fundy separates the provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland with a body of water with the largest tides in the world. In some places in Nova Scotia, the difference between high tide and low tide in the Bay of Fundy averages 14.5 meters (48 feet).

The extreme tides of the bay allow for unusual geological formations, such as the Hopewell Rocks, where visitors can walk on the ocean floor at low tide. In Saint John, New Brunswick, the tides are so great that the Saint John River reverses direction between high and low tides.
