Overview

Stanley's Beach is a kitesurf spot located in the Bay of Fundy, southern New Brunswick, near Grand Manan Island. This beach offers access to the waters of the Bay of Fundy, known for its tides among the highest in the world. The spot is exposed to the prevailing southwest and west winds. The extreme tides of the Bay of Fundy create powerful currents and significant water level variations that must be carefully monitored. The sandy beach offers a good launch point. The season runs from June to September. This spot is suitable for advanced riders due to the strong tidal currents and the demanding ocean environment of the Bay of Fundy.
