Explanation of the Fundy Tide, Parrsboro, NS
Watch what happens when the tide comes in. This video was shot on the shoreline between Ottawa House (the former Sir Charles Tupper's summer home in Parrsboro, NS) and Partridge Island (which is not an island anymore due to the Saxby Gale in 1869). Dilly MacFarlane describes the phenomena of a 7 story tide pushing air through the gravel and the resulting effervescence.

Joggins Fossil Cliffs - Hiking in Nova Scotia
Planned our visit to this location at low tide to take advantage of the Bay of Fundy views at Joggins Fossils Cliffs.
This is an UNESCO world heritage site, mainly due to the fossils during the Coal Age that reveal themselves as the tides pound the cliffs, breaking them apart. You can see seams of coal.
Our trip was during the off-season, so the interpretive centre was closed, but you could still access the ocean floor. It's important to know when to return, because the cliffs make it impossible to climb out if you get trapped.

Burntcoat Head Park - Hiking In Nova Scotia - Bay Of Fundy
TIDE SCHEDULE:
We took advantage of the low tide along the Bay of Fundy and drove up to Burntcoat head park to walk along the ocean floor. for a few hours before the tide came back.
** GET THE GEAR ON AMAZON**
The Bay of Fundy tides this time of year drop from 44ft to 4ft, allowing you to walk along the ocean floor in several spots. Depending on which are, you either walk in mud or hard rock.
Burntcoat head park is such a location, settled in 1796, there were three lighthouses that kept boats away from the coastline. The original lighthouse was actually on the tea pot island which is the landmark feature of the park, but once erosion were down the connection, another lighthouse was rebuilt more inland.
The lighthouse now contains a museum and you can climb up to the top free of admission. Recent park upgrades now include flush toilets, picnic tables, chairs and redeveloped stone stair down to the ocean floor.
The hiking path at the park is a looped path through the garden and lookout spots. When you arrive during low tide, then you will be able to get down to the ocean floor.
You'll be able to venture about for a few hours, but once the tide comes in, you absolutely need to make it back to shore. The rising tides along the Bay of Fundy are deceptive and quick.
Expect to hike a good 4-5km.
