Shepody Bay is a coastal bay within the Bay of Fundy system, forming the southeastern boundary of Albert County, New Brunswick. It is a saltwater feature characterized by extensive mudflats exposed at low tide, as noted at Mary's Point. The bay receives the outflow of the Petitcodiac River, which contributes to its distinctive brown-colored waters. Paddlers primarily access Shepody Bay as part of guided sea kayaking tours originating from Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park. These tours, operated by companies like Baymount Adventures and Fresh Air Adventures, launch from the Hopewell Rocks area and paddle along the coast, eventually exploring the bay. Launching and landing are entirely tide-dependent, utilizing the Bay of Fundy's extreme tidal range, which can exceed 39 feet; kayakers enter their craft on dry land and wait for the rapidly rising tide to float them. The entire paddling experience is governed by the world's highest tides, requiring strict adherence to tour schedules set around the rising tide to navigate among the iconic flowerpot rock formations and coastal caves before they are submerged. The bay and surrounding coast are ecologically significant, hosting massive migrations of shorebirds, particularly semipalmated sandpipers, which feed on the nutrient-rich mudflats in late summer. The landscape features historic Acadian dykes, old-growth forests, and vistas from landmarks like the Cape Enrage lighthouse. The paddling vibe is adventurous and interpretive, focusing on the dramatic tidal ecosystem, geological formations, and wildlife. Guided multi-day excursions are available, combining kayaking with camping. The area is part of the UNESCO Fundy Biosphere Reserve, and operations are seasonal, typically from mid-May to mid-October.
