World's Highest Tides
Tides in the Bay of Fundy
Twice every day the Bay of Fundy fills
and empties 100 billion tons of water, creating the highest
tides in the world – up to 53 feet high! The force created by these mighty waters is equal to 8,000
locomotives or 25 million horses at the Minas Channel. Read more about the

Fossil Hunting & Beachcombing
The world’s highest tides have carved dramatic cliffs and
awesome sea stacks along the Fundy shore. The red sandstone
and volcanic rock have been worn away to reveal fossils from
over 300 million years ago. The Hants County shoreline along the Bay of Fundy is one of
the finest mineral-collecting areas in the world. Rare zeolite
crystals, semi-precious stones such as amethyst, agate, jasper
and thomsonite can all be found here as well as fossilized trees,
insects, plants and ferns.
