Around the Maritimes in 21 Days (4) Day 5

第五日

The Rocks Provitional Park (Hopewell Rock) and Cape Enrage

The tides of the Bay of Fundy are the highest in the world. A Mi’kmaq legend explains the tide as the effect of a whale’s thrashing tail sending the water forever sloshing back and forth. A more prosaic explanation is in the length, depth and gradual funnel shape of the bay itself. The contrasts between the high and low tide are between 10m and 15m twice daily, roughly 12.5 hours apart. The highest tide ever recorded was 16.6m.

At Hopewell Cape, where the Petitcodiac River empties into Shepody Bay, are the Hopewell Rocks. The ‘rocks’ are bizarre sandstone erosion formations known as ‘flowerpots,’ rising everal stories from the ocean floor. Some look like arches, others like massive stone mushrooms. Visitors can only walk amid the rocks at low tide. Another way to visit the rocks is by kayak.

芬迪灣是世界上潮差最大的地方. 平時的潮差介於10米到15米之間. 最高達到16.6米 (四層樓高). 常年海潮強力的衝刷, 造成芬迪灣海岸奇特的地貌. 奇石省立公園是芬迪灣地貌的代表. 每當低潮的時候, 遊人可以下到海灘上欣賞各種形狀的奇石. 高潮來臨前, 公園的工作人員會排成一線, 引導遊人回到高岸.

Designated by Frommer's Guide as the Best View in Canada, Cape Enrage has the undisputed best view of the Bay of Fundy at this award-winning attraction! From atop the 46-m (150-ft.) cliffs, you’ll see a panoramic view of the entire bay from Apple River to Dorchester to Quaco.

On-site guides offer climbing and rappelling off the steep rock faces. You can also zip along the cliffside on a 183-metre (600-foot) zipline. Head to the Cape House Restaurant in the original lighthouse-keeper’s house, where you can enjoy the dramatic view while dining on pan-seared local scallops, foraged fiddlehead ferns and lobster n cheese.

狂怒角燈塔遠沒有Nova Stocia的Peggy Cove燈塔有名. 卻也因此遊人寥寥, 保持了原屬於天涯海角的平和.

強力推薦燈塔邊的餐廳. 美景加美食絕對會帶來意外的驚喜.
