Albert Canada
Canada’s Hopewell Rocks
Carved from Fundy’s sandstone sea cliffs over the course of many years, the Flower Pot Rocks, otherwise referred to as sea stacks, showcase the vertical variance of the Bay of Fundy tides.
Nick-named the Flower Pot Rocks as the trees that grow at the very top of the brown stacks seem like plants growing in a clay pot, sea stacks are found in 1 or 2 places along Fundy’s shore, but are most renowned in Albert County, New Brunswick at Hopewell Cape.

While not at all accessible during high tide, visitors to the site can walk the wood trails, learn about the history and geology of the area in the interpretive centre, grab a snack at one of two cafes
Set out on a guided sea kayaking excursion on the Bay of Fundy and paddle in and around the sea stacks. Only 90 minutes to two hours in length, this is a really unique adventure and provides a very different perspective of the Rocks. On returning to the site at low tide to walk at the base of the Rocks, it is really incredible to look up and realise that only a few short hours earlier you were paddling 40 feet above your head!
In an earlier article, we wrote about Mi’kmaq legends concerning the Bay and the tides. According to The Hopewell Rocks website (2011), in traditional times Mi’kmaq people were slaves of irritated whales who resided in the Bay. One day some of the slaves tried to flee but only made it as far the beach before being turned to stone by their whale captors. It is said that today they remain encased in these rock formations.
