Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park
The Hopewell Rocks, “Flowerpot Rocks”, are on the shores of the Bay of Fundy 47 km from Moncton. At low tide, you can walk on the muddy surface which will be covered by up to 50 feet of water in just a few hours at high tide. The rocks stand 40 to 70 feet above the sea floor.
From Tourism New Brunswick, “Walk on the ocean floor in the shadows of the majestic flower-pot rocks, unique formations carved by erosion over thousands of years. Time and tide have carved from the cliffs and coves distinctive sandstone formations topped with trees. During periods of low tide, you can walk 2 km of beach and explore several coves.” Here is the Park’s website. Phone 877-734-3429
Until recently the only way down to the sea floor was via 121 steps, but now a wheelchair accessible 60 metre ramp lets you ride to the North Beach. The “beach” itself is not negotiable by wheelchairs but there are plans to enlarge the concrete platform at the base of the ramp. Here is the CBC article and video describing the ramp.
