Herring Cove
A small bay within the national park. At low tide, large areas of rocky tide pools are exposed, where you can find starfish, crabs, and seaweed.
Herring Cove is the easiest place in Fundy National Park to get close to the intertidal zone. Steps lead down from the parking lot to the beach. At low tide, large expanses of rock and tide pools are exposed, where you can observe starfish, barnacles, crabs, and many kinds of seaweed, and experience firsthand the huge tidal range of the Bay of Fundy. Viewpoints and a picnic area are nearby. Be sure to check tide times, since the tide comes in very quickly. Take care not to get stranded on the rocks.
