Passamaquoddy Bay, which pulses to a tidal rhythm that may raise water levels 28 feet or more twice a day, surrounds the Saint Andrews peninsula. The cycle from low to high tide takes about 6.2 hours, and in that time up to 2¼ billion tons of water will swill into the bay. In the next 6.2 hours the water swirls out, uncovering 6 square miles of intertidal beach for beachcombing and exploring.
