Scotts Bay

Overview

Scotts Bay is a spectacular spot on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, famous for having some of the highest tides in the world (up to 16 m tidal range!). This small fishing village offers access to the Bay of Fundy with its unique conditions: at low tide, a huge rocky foreshore is exposed; at high tide, the water body offers committed riding conditions with powerful currents. Spot reserved for experts due to extreme tidal currents.
