If you are looking for a place to visit this summer, come on down to Burncoat Head park for some fun on the beach. Play in the tide pools with hermit crabs and snails, and maybe a crab or two. You can hunt for fossils, find interesting rocks and shells along the beach.

 

You can walk for miles on the ocean floor. Watch beautiful sunsets, have a picnic or sit in the park for R&R.

 

"Brag of your country. When I'm abroad I brag of everything that Nova Scotia is, has, or can produce; and when they beat me at everything else, I say

"How high do your tides rise?"

As many may be aware, The Bay of Fundy is Canada’s only entrant in the 7 Natural Wonders Contest. So to promote and show off East Hants’ title to the highest recorded tides, a huge human 7 was formed on the beach with approximately 200 people.

100 billion tonnes of water daily
Each day 100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle more than the combined flow of the world’s freshwater rivers!

Bring your family and friends along for an unforgetable experience. Watch the ebb and flow of the World's highest tides. 100 million tonnes of water flow into the basin every 13 hours

The Bay of Fundy is Canada’s finalist in the prestigious global campaign to declare the New 7 Wonders of Nature and you can help!

 

The top seven will be determined by popular vote and announced on November 11, 2011.
