According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, “the Northumberland Strait is a tidal water body between Prince Edward Island and the coast of eastern New Brunswick and northern Nova Scotia” (https://tinyurl.com/39nftsps).
Compared to the more impressive tides of the nearby Bay of Fundy [12.192 to 15.24 meter (40-50 feet) range], the tides on Northumberland Strait are in the 2.4384 to 4.572 meter (8-15 feet) range (https://tinyurl.com/ynwuxf73).
However, even if these tides are not as high, they go VERY far. This results in a highly warm water, due to the many daily sun hours warming the exposed Atlantic ocean sand (https://tinyurl.com/ynwuxf73). At low tide, one can either walk or bike on the bottom of the ocean. At high tide, one can swim in the warm water. Regardless of the tides, it is highly rewarding to take the time to appreciate this beauty—one moment at a time.
If you are interested, below you can find two pictures, taken by Bambi a few hours apart, of the same spot on the Northumberland Strait from the side of the Amherst Short in Nova Scotia. Is there anything more majestic and magical than Canada’s nature?
