Must be loads of surf clams in this area as during a heavy surf, they just come rolling in and if you go to the shore on the next low tide, you can pick them up before they get dug in or they will be just under the sand leaving a hump to show where they are. At times we pick them up by the five gallon pailfulls. Makes me wonder why more people don’t retrieve them. Guess it is too much work cleaning them.
We were at Fundy Bay just once to watch the tide come in.It was truly amazing.

The tidal bore is impressive - we camped at Fundy National Park, and were impressed, but up toward the north end of the bay, you can have a fishing boat tied flush with the dock at high tide, and it is sitting on the ground at low tide and there is no water anywhere in sight. You can walk way out and still can’t see water. Amazing that you are standing where there had been 15-20’ of water just hours earlier and it will all be back come next high tide.
As a kid, I used to spend hours and hours reading the Book of Knowledge Encyclopedia - I always stared in awe at Fundy, and just had to check out the whole thing when I could. Took the whole family camping all the way around it and took the ferry back to Maine. Of course we went up to northern Nova Scotia (Bras de Or lake) got to pick some of those wild blueberries early mornings for our blueberry pancakes for breakfast (took my canoe with us)... Mmmmm Mmmmm Good!
