Hopewell Rocks, Bay of Fundy, NS

Ocean tides have carved the Flower Pot Rocks, pillars of sandstone and conglomerate rock with balsam fir and dwarf spruce growing on top. We walked on the ocean beach below the rocks. This area is open from 3 hours before low tide until 3 hours after low tide. At high tide, the rocks resemble islands.


Tides the height of a four-storey building are not unheard of. It is almost unbelievable. But apparently the Bay of Fundy acts like a bathtub and that is why the tides reach such heights.
