Bay of Fundy Nova Scotia Canada Postcard

The Bay of Fundy, located between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Eastern Canada, is one of the most unique and awe-inspiring natural wonders in North America. It’s world-famous for having the highest tides on Earth, with water levels rising and falling by as much as 16 metres (over 50 feet) twice daily. This dramatic tidal shift transforms the landscape in mere hours—revealing ocean floors, sculpted rock formations, and expansive mudflats that teem with marine life. The bay is also a rich geological and paleontological site, where you can find fossils dating back 300 million years along its eroded cliffs. One of the most iconic attractions is Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, where visitors can walk on the ocean floor among towering "flowerpot" rock pillars during low tide and then return hours later to see them surrounded by water. The bay is also a prime spot for whale watching, especially near Digby and Brier Island in Nova Scotia, where humpbacks, minkes, and right whales can often be seen. Beyond its natural drama, the Bay of Fundy region offers charming fishing villages, coastal hikes, and cultural experiences that blend Acadian history with maritime traditions. Whether you're exploring by kayak, foot, or sightseeing boat, the Bay of Fundy offers an unforgettable encounter with nature’s raw power and beauty.
