The Bay of Fundy is one of the 7 wonders of North America. The highest tides on earth, the rarest whales in the world, semi-precious minerals and dinosaur fossils; all this convinced an international panel of experts in 2014 to choose the Bay of Fundy as one of the natural wonders of the world.

Winding its way between the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay of Fundy is 170 miles of craggy cliffs, thundering waves, and ecological wonders. “It’s rugged nature,” local artist Karin Bach says. “It’s the kind of place people who truly love nature and not just the pristine bits of it will enjoy.”

The specific size of the bay helps create the world’s most extreme tides. Water levels rise and fall by as much as 48 feet every day when 100 billion tons of seawater crash into the shore. Low tide reveals boulders carved into dramatic shapes by centuries of water at the Hopewell Rocks. Waterside beach opens up into miles of sand (great for picnicking). “Local people will pick up some fresh lobster, a bottle of wine, and a few treats and spend the day there,” Bach says.
