1. RCMP Memorial

If you're not familiar with Greater Moncton (Moncton/Dieppe/Riverview), I strongly recommend using the RCMP Memorial as a starting point for your visit. Very easy to locate, and with plenty of street parking, this is a beautiful and well created memorial to our most recent fallen Police Officers. There has been six Police Officers tragically killed in the line of duty in the history of our city, a sad reality, and this monument is specifically for three Police Officers killed during a mass shooting in our city on June 4th., 2014. These Officers were members of Codiac RCMP, while the other fallen Officers were members of The Moncton Police Force (Replaced by the RCMP). From here, you are now on a beautiful riverfront walking trail, part of the TransCanada Trail, and one block away from Moncton's Main Street with it's many restaurants, night clubs, stores, banks, theatre, etc. Every city has its history, good and bad, and from here we learn and grow.

Magnificent eco-system encompasses natural beauty, dramatic seascapes, abundance of marine life and, on its eastern end, the highest tides in the world.

Beautiful views. Ticket good for two days so make sure you give yourself time to see both low and high tide. Wonderful wheelchair accessible area but be sure to ask as they unlock the gate to go a different direction. If we went again I would make time for kayak trip for sure!

10. Tidal Bore
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 591 reviews
A tidal Bore is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of an incoming tide forms a standing wave of water that travels upstream, against the current of a river or narrow bay. The tidal bore in Moncton is caused when the unparalleled tides in the Bay of Fundy begin to make their way up the historic Petitcodiac River. The Bay of Fundy is home to the highest tides in the world and over 160 billion tonnes of water comes in and out of the bay each day! Twice daily, observers can watch the tidal bore as this incoming rush of water overtakes the outgoing tide in the formerly placid river.
Reviewed By AdrianD958 - Coquitlam, Canada
Moncton's riverside Tidal Bore Park provides an outstanding opportunity to witness a fascinating natural phenomenon - a tidal bore. This is a tidally-driven wave which travels up the river from the Bay of Fundy. Tables showing the schedule for the manifestation are freely available. Definitely not to be missed! .
