We took a nice long walk along the St Martins New Brunswick shoreline to the Harbor at Low tide. We walked on the Ocean floor into the Harbor between the 2 jetties. Here you can see why the Bay of Fundy is one of the seven natural wonders of Canada. Twice a day 100 Billion Tons of water fills the Bay of Fundy. Yes, 100 Billion tons … The Bay of Fundy is where the highest tides in the world sweep in and out. It allowed us to walk the Harbor floor for a once in a lifetime experience.
Check out this fabulous photo album of our trek to the Harbor. As you look at the photos make sure you check out the high tide mark on the beach, jetty, rocks, and the harbor piers.
To think that the entire Bay of Fundy raises 40 to 50 feet is just awesome! It truly is a wonder … It’s not just the tide that comes in but the entire bay raises … That equals to 23,965,000,000,000 or 23.965 Trillion gallons of water moving twice a day!! Each tide equals to the daily discharge of all the world’s fresh water rivers.
