Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

From Halifax we drove north to New Brunswick. We took a rainy trail walk through the leafy green Fundy National Park and had an authentic lobster supper in the small fishing village of Alma. Locals prefer to eat their cooked lobster cold, with a dish of melted butter for dipping.

In addition to delicious fresh seafood, this region has the highest tidal range in the world, with 160 billion tonnes of water flowing in and out of the Bay of Fundy every day. The photos below show the Hopewell Rocks at low and high tide. It was a strange feeling to walk around the muddy base of the rocks at low tide, only to see them submerged when we returned again after lunch. The photo of the boats which appear to have run aground was taken at low tide in Alma.
