Yes. I've seen its tides in person. It's almost unreal. Boats go from sitting on their sides on dry land to floating in 3+m of water and back every tidal cycle.


At first I was thinking that that doesn't sound all that unusual; here near Antwerp, Belgium we also have tides high enough that small boats can go from sitting dry to floating clear. But then I looked it up and it turns out that the tidal range in the Bay of Fundy is about 16 metres (52 feet)! That really is a lot, and much more than the about 5.5 metres we have here.
