Land of Orchards, Vineyards and the Bay of Fundy with the World’s Highest Tides

With tides that reach up to 16.5 metres (54 feet), it is a spectacular natural phenomenon that occurs nowhere else on the planet. The power of nature is everywhere along the Fundy shore, with its rocky shores, broad mud flats, and populations of whales, migrating shore birds and other marine life.  Go on a whale watching tour off Digby Neck, kayak the rugged coastline, try some world famous Digby Scallops or simply enjoy watching the high tides along the Bay of Fundy.

This is also an area rich in history. Some 400 years ago, early settlers established their forts, farms and fishing villages along the coast and in the fertile Annapolis Valley.  The Annapolis Valley is now home to the Nova Scotia wine region and world famous apple orchards.  The “best of” lists below will help you plan your Fundy Shore and Annapolis Valley adventure.
