My three Ruby Red kids visited Burntcoat Head on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia.
The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, with the water levels rising and dropping over 18 metres every six hours. When the kids arrived, the tide was out, exposing the ocean floor all the way to the island and beyond.
But Alex and Sara weren't content to just look from shore, and climbed down off of the rocks...

and ventured out on the ocean floor...
They had to be careful where they walked. Bare rocks and sand were okay to walk on, but mud was slippery and could be deep, so had to be avoided.
And they had to watch out for the barnacles and snails...

It seemed amazing that in just a few hours this entire area would be deep under water.
