Tides

Municipality of Chester

In a province that’s almost completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean – it’s fair to say we appreciate the flow of the tides. In fact, no matter where you stand in Nova Scotia you’re never more than 60km/37miles from the sea.

So whether looking for the perfect picture, bound for the beach or setting sail for open waters – you’d be wise to know the highs and lows of it.

The tide chart for Lunenburg County shows current tide levels to help you plan your sailing times and beach visits accordingly.
