In response, Moncton's Petitcodiac River empties and refills twice a day in accordance with the powerful tides. The sight and sound of the tidal bore moving along the river banks is just one of the unique experiences that await you in this vibrant town.

Sounds strange, but seeing is believing.

Saint John, NB, CanadaSet along the coast of New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy, this oldest of Canada's cities has been welcoming people from Europe, England, and Ireland for centuries, each leaving their indelible imprint on Saint John's culture, architecture, and language. They are what make Saint John great, making you feel right at home with a jubilant love for their city! There are so many ways to enjoy this place that you just need to point yourself in any direction and go. Saint John is surrounded on three sides by beaches, and also has many lakes. Just about the whole year is festival season, so dust off your dancing shoes and tap your toes to the Acadian tunes that fill the air. With one hundred billion tons of seawater roaring in and out of the bay twice daily, you just know you're in for a seafood feast that's simply out of this world. Catch your own lobster, dig for clams for a clambake on the beach, and try some dulse, the world-famous purple seaweed dried to a crunchy snack!.
St Andrews, NB, CanadaSurrounded by Passamaquoddy Bay, the National Historic District of St Andrews By-the-Sea's relaxed pace is linked to the rhythm of the powerful Fundy tides.

The covered bridges and lighthouses of the countryside lure painters and photographers, as does Saint Croix Island - site of Monts and Champlains' 1604 settlement. Ministers Island and the estate of railway magnate Sir William Van Horne can be reached at low tide by driving across the ocean floor!.
