The Hopewell Rocks<\/strong>, also called the Flowerpots Rocks,<\/strong> are rock formations caused by tidal erosion. The tides vary from day to day, but the difference between low and high tide can be as much as 16 meters (52 ft) giving the Hopewell Rocks one of the highest average tides in the world.
Kathleen made a nice day trip out of it. With a stop in Shediac and an introduction to Tim Hortons. Great – every day something new :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official website<\/a> of Hopewell Rock Park. It is a bit of a mess, but you will find the tide timetable there. We were a bit unlucky since the tide came in quite late and it got dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
