Hopewell Cape

Hopewell Cape juts out into the Bay of Fundy's Shepody Bay and is just on 43km (27mi) south of Moncton on Highway 114. Here the world's highest tides have sculpted an incredible coastal landscape, carving away at the soft rock to form the "flowerpots", strange pillars of granite topped with fir and spruce, apparently standing offshore but, as can be seen at low tide, still connected to the mainland.

Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site
At the Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site the ocean tides have carved the Flower Pot Rocks, pillars of sandstone and conglomerate rock with balsam fir and dwarf spruce. At high tide the rocks resemble islands.

The best time to visit the Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site is at low tide but the staff here also recommend visiting at high tide.

On site is an Interpretive Center with information on the area and the tides.
