One of my favourite little corners of the Bay of Fundy universe is the village of Bear River, near Digby, Nova Scotia. Bear River is located on a tidal river about 6 km from the open Bay of Fundy. High tide nests the village's main street building in a kinda of 'floating' way atop the river; low tide reveals intriguing sets of stilts supporting these historic buildings.Bear River is well-known throughout the region as a mecca for resident artisans and creative folk. I was recently in the area for several days and enjoyed the recent refurb of the Bear River Cafe, pictured here. A fun spot for tide watching as well as the creative menu and fine company!
