Great beach to explore. This red sand beach sits in the Bay of Fundy. The tide is incredible here. With at change of 55ft you need to make sure you're well aware of the tide as it's coming in . . .

The tides roar in at an amazing speed so when you're exploring, particularly around the Hopewell Rocks, knowing the tide table is critical to your safety. I live in New Brunswick close to the Bay.

What a beautiful view, Peter. And I love having the person in it to provide a sense of action and a sense of a story.

I'm fascinated by the enormous tides at that latitude. Someone posted a shot several months ago of a pier at low tide that had barnacles and all kinds of things growing near the top. Incredible! 55-60 feet is really nothing to sneeze at.

The speeds are amazing. Quite the scene when the tide comes in . . . Nice part of the country you live in Snowgirl!
