Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick Canada
The "wow" factor: LLMEUSE wrote to share with us the "great natural wonder" that is Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, Canada. Running along the Bay of Fundy, Hopewell Rocks is home to the world's highest tides, which bring forth more than 100-billion tons of water twice a day. During high tide, you can grab a kayak and paddle around beautiful naturally formed sandstone pillars. If keeping your feet on land is more your speed, head over to the multimedia interpretive center where you can learn more about the geology and forces of nature that crafted them. At low tide, once the water has receded, be sure to walk the ocean floor and explore the quiet coves, covered with magnificent rock formations, with nicknames like "Mother-in-Law" and "ET".
Insider's tip: Although Hopewell Rocks is open seasonally from mid-May to mid-October, be sure to visit from mid-July to mid-August, in order to witness the mesmerizing aerial dance performed by migrating Bay of Fundy shorebirds.
