The Bathtub, The Chocolate River? No it's Funday Bay

The three names of the bay with the most extreme tides in the world. It is an awesome place. We went to Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park in New Brunswick. We stayed in a very nice and small RV park about 2 miles from the provincial park. We got there fairly early so as soon as I got the rig setup we took off for the park.

High Tide was at 1:04 PM we got to the park about 3:00 PM. Mid Tide. It's about a 15 minute walk down to the actual beach and Hopewell Rocks. We took about 152 steps down to the beach. the water was only about 20 feet from the shear rock walls when we got there.


Did I say there were probably 250 people besides ourselves?

Within an hour the beach grew to about 60 feet from the shear rock walls. The tide level drops approx. 6 feet every hour. It takes 6 hours to go from high tide to low tide so the level drops about 36 feet. It was really awesome to watch.
