and numerous world-renowned fossil discoveries and dino- saur discoveries near Parrsboro and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Joggins Fossil Cliffs. One of the Seven Natural Wonders of North America, the Bay of Fundy, can be explored via its surrounding UNESCO sites, national and provincial parks, museums and histori- cal sites. Hiking trails deliver breathtaking views of the bay from above or experience captivating views from the ocean floor at low tide. Sea kayaking tours provide a unique view of the sculpted coastline, cliffs and islands. Adventurous visitors looking for a thrill should look into rafting the Tidal Bore. Tis rare phenomenon is created when competing
currents collide. Tidal waters rush into the rivers provid- ing a natural roller coaster on surges of water that can rise up to eight feet high.
