Get Close and Personal with the Bay of Fundy.

SAINT JOHN - Time and tide wait for no man and nowhere is this axiom clearer than on the edge of the highest tides in the world. Inn on the Cove & Spa is Saint John’s only accommodation right on the Bay of Fundy. The daily bio-rhythm of high and low tides can be experienced first hand from your guest room, balcony or with a stroll to the beach at the foot of the inn. Tides as high as 28 feet flood into the bay and turn the mighty Saint John River around causing it to flow back up stream.

The rapids and whirlpools that roar out to the bay just minutes from the Inn, slow as the tide rises and the reverse action occurs as the bay waters roar upstream. Only for a brief twenty to thirty minutes during slack water between high and low tides can boats safely navigate the narrows to enter or leave the Saint John River system. Every six hours and 20 minutes the tides change as regular as clockwork. Tidal heights and currents are predicted years in advance based on the position of the moon, earth and sun.
