Hopewell Rocks at High Tide
The Bay of Fundy is one of two North American contenders in the New 7 Wonders of the world campaign (the Grand Canyon is the other one).
Why should you vote for the Bay of Fundy? Well, there are seven reasons:
- Highest tides in the world.
- Marine ecology comparable to the Amazon Rainforest.
- World renowned dinosaurs and fossil discoveries.
- Home to over 12 species of rare and endangered whales.
- Best site on planet for green tidal energy.
- Rich in history and culture.
- Home to 2 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, one World Heritage Site and a Geopark.
You can vote for seven candidates here.

I grew up at the foot of the North Mountain, Nova Scotia, so I’m no stranger to the Bay of Fundy, but my trip to New Brunswick was my first time seeing it from the other side. I can now check Hopewell Rocks off my bucklist (and ziplining, too, but that’s another post). Not only did we see some beautiful millions-of-years-old rock formations, we also saw flocks of shimmering Semipalmated Sandpipers.

- “After” Shot. Same location, low tide.
- That light grey border on the horizon is home, i.e., Nova Scotia! I waved.
You don’t have to travel far to have fun. I have lots more New Brunswick photos to share later, including a few more of Hopewell Rocks.
Oh, don’t forget to vote. Let me know who you voted for!
