THE MIGHTY EBB CURRENT of 160 Billion tonnes of water 16 meters high

THE HOPEWELL ROCKS PROVINCIAL PARK
The Highest Tide in the World is by The Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park in The Bay of Fundy, which separates New Brunswick from Nova Scotia in Eastern Canada.
Some places simply beg for superlatives. Biggest. Highest. Deepest. Grandest. And others? Others defy language, and rather beg you to let the feelings of the place wash over you. Welcome to New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy region.
A visit to this special place will reward you with the world’s highest tides, 160 billion tonnes of water twice a day plus billion-year-old coastlines.
Here, your capacity for wonder isn’t just filled. It overflows. The tides in the Bay of Fundy can rise an unbelievable 16 metres (52.5 ft.), with 160 billion tonnes of seawater gushing in and out of the bay twice a day. They are best experienced at The Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, where you can walk around giant sea stack monoliths at low tide then watch the tide rise up around them.
That’s experience you can hardly match in other places.

TIDES IN THE BAY OF FUNDY
Twice each day, 160 billion tonnes of seawater flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy — more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers! The Bay of Fundy’s tides transform the shorelines, tidal flats and exposed sea bottom as they flood into the bay and its harbours and estuaries.
The best place to experience the tides of the Bay of Fundy is within the World’s Highest Tides Ecozone. Located around the two upper basins of the Bay, this area has a distinct coastal geography. Tides in this coastal zone reach a peak of around 16 m (50′) — the height of a 5-storey building. This is many times higher than typical tides on the rest of the Atlantic coast! The huge tides expose the sea bottom and shape the coastline.
The ecology of the World’s Highest Tides Ecozone is unique. Each August, vast tidal flats are feeding areas for hundreds thousands of migratory shorebirds that stop at the Hopewell Rocks on their journey South and have been designated western hemisphere shorebird reserve there.
