The Phenomenal Bay of Fundy
At 270km long, this ocean bay is home to the highest tides in the world.
Each day 100 billion tonnes of sea water flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy and makes for spectacular viewing. Stretching between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Bay is rich in nutrients and boasts amazing marine life from Minke and Humpback Whales to the second largest animal on earth – the Finback Whale - which uses the Bay to feed and play.
