The Hopewell Rocks, also called the
Flowerpot Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The
Hopewell Rocks Ocean Tidal Exploration Site in New Brunswick. They stand
between 40-70 feet tall.
They are located on the shores of the
upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near Moncton, New
Brunswick. Due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base
of the formations are covered in water twice a day. However, it is
possible to view the formations from ground level at low tide.
Susan's dream destination.
An
Interpretative Guide sets these rock cairns up at low tide to allow
folks on the viewing platform to see the force of the incoming tide.
These are the stairs you can use to walk on the "beach" when the tide is out. Judy went down with Callie and said the soil was really dry, very interesting.
There they go
They offer Kayak tours that go through the formation called the Lover's Knot. Timing is everything.
