Perfect experience - I visited recently with friends and kids. Very excited with spectacular views of atlantic coast and the rocks. I would recommend to everyone to check the time when the ocean level is the lowest during the day and visit near that time. The time we arrived was around 9:00AM and the ocean level was too high and the access to the beach near the rocks was closed.

Very enjoyable hour or two spent here at Low Tide - We had a tightly packed schedule on our six week Canadian trip so felt we were extremely lucky to get to Hopewell Rocks at low tide, allowing us to walk on the sea bed and enjoy all the wonderful rock formations from below. It was pretty busy - we were there on 10th September - including some people with pets. It was fun to watch them bounding about joyfully, particularly one retriever puppy who ended up covered in black mud. We chose to use the pathways down to the staircase, which was a lovely walk through a pretty forest. We also did a detour to look out over the clifftop. Unfortunately we were not able to return for high tide but our visit was well worthwhile.

Easy access to this unique site - A group of friends on a trip stopped here, timed to low tide. The visitor center is very nice with great history exhibits and a cafe. The walk is as described on clean trails. Seeing the geology and views of the bay are really special. We walked along the "beach" for about 45 minutes. We did not stay for the tide to rise, but the ticket is good for 2 days so best to return the next day at high tide when you can take a kayak ride.

Chocolate water! Amazing views! - This place has very cool geological formations with a wicked tide that is around a 30 foot difference. The whole vibe of the beach is vastly different at low tide and high tide. One thing to keep in mind is to check the tide times and plan your visit accordingly, in case you wanted to walk on the ocean floor. Stunning natural beauty in this park with excellent vistas of PEI and Nova Scotia as well. Do not miss this beauty if you are in the area!

An unusual experience - The view was nice and unusual. Did not feel like walking on the ocean floor as many people are saying. It was quite muddy but the rock formations are interesting.

It's really fun to watch the rising and falling times of the tide. - The scenery is beautiful and worth a visit, but it’s more fun to spend more time. You can rent a canoe and climb a boat. It’s also interesting. When the tide goes down, you can get a lot of seafood and shellfish. Children will feel happy. There are private campsites nearby that you can rent. Camping is fun and there are motels where you can stay.

An amazing natural site... - An amazing natural site and phenomenon. Interpretive centre was well done. Improvements to the booking system could be made. No separate line for those who pre purchased tickets. It was no more convenient or faster than buying tickets at the site.

Nice view - Very nice place with great views and a stroll on the bay floor at low tide. It was certainly worth the drive.
