Introduction

Fundy National Park sits on New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy, famed for the world's largest tidal range — daily tides here exceed 12 m, and at low tide vast intertidal flats stretch for kilometres. It is ideal for tide-watching, beachcombing (fossils and sea glass) and intertidal ecology. Forest, waterfalls and coastal cliffs intertwine; trails climb to overlooks of the rust-coloured bay, and in autumn and winter migrating whales can be spotted offshore.
