Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia - April 21 & 22/07.

The world famous Bay of Fundy tides are evident here in this picturesque little harbour. At low tide, the fishing vessels sit on the bottom of the ocean floor 42 ft. (12.8m) below the top of the wharf. They must wait for high tide to go out to sea again. There's no need for separate dry dock facilities on this shore.

Halls Harbour wharf is the first wharf in Canada to use FRP (Fiber-reinforced Polymer) construction. A severe tidal surge in 1998 destroyed the former wharf and this one was built as a pilot project in collaboration with both the Federal and Provincial governments. In nine years it has held up beautifully against the severe weather of the North Atlantic.

Halls Harbour has been featured in National Geographic Magazine 3 times. It is a perfect spot for a romantic weekend getaway or a full vacation trip. In the peak tourist season (June - Oct.) accommodation reservations are highly recommended. The seafood restaurant on the dock is rated one of the best in Nova Scotia for lobster. Visitors are asked to respect that this is a hard-working fishing village and while the locals are very friendly and accommodating, they only have a narrow 3 hour run at high tide (twice a day) to get their vessels out to sea.
