A visit to 'The Rocks'

 

Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park

Less than an hour’s drive from Moncton, NB is Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, famous for the unique rock formations called sea stacks found along the shore of Hopewell Cape on the Bay of Fundy. The massive tides of the Fundy have caused the rocks to erode in a spectacular way – creating formations such as The Flower Pot, Elephant Rock, Lover’s Arch, and even Mother-in-Law Rock.

The beach around the sea stacks can only be accessed at certain times of the day, depending on the tide, and we were fortunate to arrive in time to walk down to the ocean floor and view the rocks close-up (along with hundreds of other tourists).




That's D, dipping his toes into the muddy water - looks like chocolate milk!
