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.

芬迪湾是世界上潮差最大的地方. 平时的潮差介于10米到15米之间. 最高达到16.6米 (四层楼高). 常年海潮强力的冲刷, 造成芬迪湾海岸奇特的地貌. 奇石省立公园是芬迪湾地貌的代表. 每当低潮的时候, 游人可以下到海滩上欣赏各种形状的奇石. 高潮来临前, 公园的工作人员会排成一线, 引导游人回到高岸.

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.

狂怒角灯塔远没有Nova Stocia的Peggy Cove灯塔有名. 却也因此游人寥寥, 保持了原属于天涯海角的平和.

强力推荐灯塔边的餐厅. 美景加美食绝对会带来意外的惊喜.
