View of the harbour - Hall's Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. Hall's Harbour is a small fishing community in Nova Scotia, Canada. Its unique location in Kings County on the shore of the Bay of Fundy brings many tourists to the village. Hall's Harbour is named after Samuel Hall, an American privateer who used the cove to raid settlements in the Annapolis Valley in the 1770s. The harbour was first settled in 1826. The Bay of Fundy is known for its high tidal range and the bay is having the highest vertical tidal range in the world. Average vertical tidal range is around 17 meters. The highest water level ever recorded in the Bay of Fundy system occurred at the head of the Minas Basin on the night of October 4–5, 1869 during a tropical cyclone named the “Saxby Gale”. The water level of meters resulted from the combination of high winds, abnormally low atmospheric pressure, and a spring tide.
