Canada Maces Bay Lookout
On this narrow spit of land in the Lepreau Basin there is a particularly beautiful camper pitch. The basin is part of Maces Bay, which in turn is a side bay of the Bay of Fundy.
The Bay of Fundy, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, has the highest tidal differences in the world. The difference between low and high tide is normally around 13 metres, and around 16 metres at spring tide. In one storm, over 21 metres have been measured. This means that within around 6¼ hours, the unimaginable amount of 160 billion tonnes of water (normally) flows out of the bay into the North Atlantic and back again in the following 6¼ hours, filling the 220 km long, up to 60 km wide bay.
The current of the outflowing water is enormous and you can watch the water level drop fast.
