Title

Welcome to the Town of Parrsboro, N.S. and Royal Lepage Preview Realty.

Description

We have the worlds highest tides right here in our seaside town and no matter if you are a visitor or a lifelong resident, the tides are guaranteed to amaze you. You can choose to just sit and watch or meander the tide line searching for shells and other interesting flotsam and jetsam. Our miles of rugged coastline scenery and many beaches that abound with sea animals, birds and friendly people, are a well known haven for photographers and artists alike.

A bulge in the water on the Earth's surface occurs on both the side facing the moon and the side away from the moon.

The highest tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada. The tidal range is 15-16 meters (approximately 45-50 feet). Because there are 2 high tides and 2 low tides in each day (roughly a 24 hour period), then the tide must come in within about a 6 hour period. As a rough estimate, the tide rises about 8 feet (or 96 inches) an hour (48 feet divided by 6 hours). This translates to a tide which rises at more than one inch per minute. If you have walked down a beach with a steep cliff along side (which is common there), be sure to watch the tides. If you walk for about an hour and then notice that the tide is coming in, the water will be over your head before you get back to where you started!
