New Brunswick: one of the world’s marine wonders

Sunday, 08 Jun, 2007 0

Imagine this… every day, twice a day, the highest tides in the world wash the shores of New Brunswick’s most famous geological feature, the Hopewell Rocks in the world-renowned Bay of Fundy. The Bay actually receives 100 billion tons of tidal seawater each time. It is a feat of nature like no other… these tides, rising up to an incredible 52 feet, stretch out along New Brunswick’s Fundy Coastal Drive, washing over these pristine shores; exposing life, creating life and sustaining life.

Now imagine yourself with ringside seats to this Marine Wonder of the World – the effect is truly extraordinary. You’re walking on the ocean floor anticipating the glory and wonder soon coming your way. New Brunswick’s Bay of Fundy was voted “One of the Top 50 Destinations in the World to Discover, Explore, Experience” by Natural History Magazine (Spring 2003). This distinction further positions New Brunswick as a world-class destination and reinforces the Bay of Fundy as one of the world’s great natural wonders.

The phenomenal Bay of Fundy is just the beginning of what New Brunswick offers those travelers looking for a truly experiential destination…
 
The historic port city of Saint John, Canada’s oldest incorporated city, with its relaxed vibe that blends 400 years of history with the vibrancy of a modern city. This is one of those wonderful places where the locals still smile at strangers.

A unique fusion of cultures, where dual Acadian and Loyalist heritage mix with First Nations, English, Irish and Scottish heritage. Traditions run deep here and are celebrated constantly!

The Bay of Fundy, where more kinds of whales – 15 species including the rare Right whale – are seen more often than anywhere else on Earth! If you haven’t seen one of these gentle creatures break the surface of calm waters, you don’t know what you’ve been missing!

Towns and seaside communities that simply make you feel right at home, where the flavors of the most succulent seafood create the most savory aromas. From lobster bakes to Maritime lunches of mouthwatering Atlantic Salmon and “fiddleheads” – a local delicacy – your dining choices are as endless as New Brunswick’s world-class natural beauty!
