Welcome to Burntcoat Head Park

Experience the world’s highest tides and make memories that will last a lifetime. 

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

Our lighthouse gift shop and washrooms open for the season on May 17, 2023. Visit the park in the off season at your own risk.

The highest tides in the world, stunning shoreline vistas, and secrets of the ocean floor.

It’s all here for you at Burntcoat Head Park.

To fully experience the breathtaking power of the Bay of Fundy, visit at both low and high tide. Pass the six hours between tides enjoying the park’s walking trails, picnic areas, and interpretive displays, then exploring attractions of the local community – from museums and art galleries to world-famous tidal bore rafting!
