Perhaps one of the single most famous landmarks of New Brunswick, the Hopewell Rocks have stood the test of time. It's one of the few places you can literally walk on the floor of the ocean.
From Wikipedia:
They are located on the shores of the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape near the end of a series of Fundy coastal tourism hubs including Fundy National Park and the Fundy Trail. Due to the extreme tidal range of the Bay of Fundy, the base of the formations are covered in water twice a day. It is possible to view the formations from ground level at low tide.
The formations consist of red-brown sedimentary conglomerate, sandstone, and minor mudstone rock from the Carboniferous Hopewell Cape Formation, part of the Mabou Group. The large volume of water flowing in to and out of the Bay of Fundy modifies the landscape surrounding it. After the retreat of the glaciers in the region following the last ice age, surface water filtering through cracks in the cliff has eroded and separated the formations from the rest of the cliff face. Meanwhile, advancing and retreating tides and the associated waves have eroded the base of the rocks at a faster rate than the tops, resulting in their unusual shapes

Due to the nature of this area, you will need to ensure you only come here during low tide. You will not be able to get down to the ocean floor area in high tide. Please review the tide tables to know when it is best to come here.
TO LOG THE CACHE
This cache requires you to take a photo of either yourself, or your GPS, on the ocean floor, with the rocks behind you. You should clearly be able to see the height of the rocks above you from the photo. Photos taken of the rocks from the top, and not from the ocean floor, will not be accepted, and your log will be deleted.
You do not need to wait to hear back from us to log your find.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful piece of nature.
