It's in Fundy Bay.
Especially in this small village called Alma, the water withdraws 1 km.
There are controversies between Quebec and New Brunswick and apparently Quebec won as having the lowest tide on the planet. But if you ask a New Brunswick habitant you'll find out that they have the world record. And so on.
A few pictures taken in Alma :
Lobster boats floating
Same ones sitting on the seabed
This one taken at the lowest tide with 50mm. I had my feet in the water.

Nice ones, looks like you had typically Alma weather (fog). Did you spend any time in Fundy Park? There are some beautiful spots there, some easier to get at then others.
That tide really has to be seen to be believed. So much water is moving into the bay at high tide that the final 60 km of the Petticodiac river flows backwards.

Not to hijack the thread, but it's a semidurnal tide, twice a day, roughly 6 hours to go in, 6 hours to go out.
BTW the wikipedia atricle on tides also has shots of an Alma lobster boat at low and high tide

Thank you guys!
Much appreciated!
I'll work some more boats to upload.
I stayed in Fundy Park at Fundy Highland chalet and I've wandered on every possible path/trail. See the the panorama that I put on Oversized Gallery at Laverty Fall.
Yep, fog is part of everyday life in Alma.

Heh I saw that one, it's a beaut. Didn't realize it was Laverty.
Don't get out there much these days, maybe once the kids get bigger...

I passed through Moncton on my way to Plage Parlee.
I intended to go to PEI, take some pictures of the Confederation bridge but it started to rain badly and I abandoned the trip.
Coming back I stopped in Moncton to buy some food because, man, I went nuts with the food price in Alma. Not only there was no food but what that depanneur/gas station had on shelves was hellishly expensive. It was Moncton otherwise I would've gone to Sussex.
