The highest tides in the world

Yesterday, Ruth and I took a drive up to Hall's Harbour. It's just a tiny fishing village on the north shore of Nova Scotia on the Bay of Fundy.

The Bay of Fundy hosts the highest tides in the world, and they are most evident at Hall's Harbour because of the way the docks are designed. 

On the way there, we stopped at the cliffs at Medford, but we couldn't find a way to access the beach. And, although the tide was on the way out, it really wasn't out far enough for us to be able to walk down to the cliffs anyhow.

The tide is on the way out.

You can see how high the water gets at high tide. And that was only three hours ago. They say that at the fastest point, the water rises or lowers by one inch per minute. 

At Hall's Harbour beach, you can see how high the water gets.

It is about mid tide when I took this photo, and the tide is on the way out.

Amazing stuff. 

We went for a walk along the cliffs.

Weird rock.

Another weird rock.

In another 8 hours this will be totally full.

It is approximately every six hours that the tide does this.
