💡 Tips

  • Always check the daily Bay of Fundy tide charts before planning beach walks. The tidal range is extreme, so keep an eye on the water level.
  • Pack layers, as coastal fog can roll in quickly and drop the temperature significantly.
  • Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear if you plan to explore the red mudflats, as they can be quite slippery.
  • Bring binoculars to spot shorebirds migrating along the rugged coastline.
