A wide expanse of beach covered with smooth stones, exposed to the tides and winds of the Bay of Fundy. Many rock hounds roam the beach searching for stones. |
Many types of agate, chalcedony, and jasper; zeolites such as stilbite, mesolite, natrolite and heulandite are collected here. | The
beach stretches in a semi-circle, open to the Bay of
Fundy tides and the winds. It is covered with small rounded
stones created by wave action moving them against each
other smoothing the rough edges. The basalt shown is located almost at the end of the point shown here. |

Jurassic age basalts which poured out when North America began to break away from Africa as the supercontinent Pangea rifted apart. |
