May I ask where that is? If so, where is that?

Itsukushima, a small island in Hiroshima Bay, Japan commonly called Miyajima. Really great place to visit if you can!

Oooh! St. Mary's Lighthouse.

so apparently tides are more extreme in the UK than un the USA. These are normal tides to me.
aliigoesrawrr
It bothers me that the title says high and low, whereas the low tide pictures come first, then the high tide pictures.
d0gma
Every single one was low and high tides. Title lied to me.
erinpuppy
this is all terrifying. i would drown.
Feralkyn
Yeah, we had a place near my house where the path out to an island would submerge, as would the surrounding marshes, well before the island-
Feralkyn
-and it was said that in stormy weather, people were trapped & drowned. Also, a lot of drunk college kids off the coast (2/?)
Feralkyn
--this is Long Island, NY--walked out to a sandbar off the coast of a bar/restaurant and when the tide came in, all twenty-odd had to be 3/?
Feralkyn
rescued by Coast Guard. Supposedly they were so drunk they were quite cheery about it >.>

As a Maritimer, looks like none. I could be wrong but they don't look high enough.
YouHearMeTalkingHillbillyBoy
To be lost forever amongst the comments, but I grew up on an island in the 90s, and the tide changed considerably. As in beaches disappeared
triplepenetration
Care to tell us where?
YouHearMeTalkingHillbillyBoy
Just saw your question, Southeast Georgia, USA

TIL Georgia is on east coast and has a coast line.

I live right next to the sea, but we don't have tides...this scares the shit out of me.
TheDrunkLord
If your next to the sea you have tides, they may not be as extreme but you always have 4 or 2 tides. Depends on the local waterways
TheDrunkLord
No worries bro, it takes 6 hours for tides to change. You get 4 tides a day, 2 lows and 2 highs. With the exception of a couple of places.

I get mildly depressed when I think about how important the moon is for our bio-sphere. The odds are just staggering. We will lose the moon.
weavehole
What are you worried about exactly?
Jackofall
Tides, rotation. That we got the moon was incredibly fortunate. Else we would not have tides and tectonic plates. Moon is moving away.
weavehole
Yeah, but if it wasnt there we wouldnt be here to worry about it not being there. :)
Jackofall
Still I can't help thinking about other habitats. Oh well 1st world problems.

Speak for yourself it's been sunny where I live for past month!

ThisNameIsNotAboutYou
Do we have more extreme tides than other places? Just I've never had to keep moving my bags up the beach every 5 minutes when in sunny spain
TimothyTRiG
There's barely any tides in the Med.
BigDickPodrick
Ah there is a reason for that. It's complicated, but essentially the very narrow Strait of Gibraltar makes the tides much smaller in the Med
canadiancheesehead12
Come check out the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world.
schizznatt
YEA!
yesiamaphysicist
Yes, Britain does have more extreme tides than most other places. It mostly just has to do with the geography above and below water.
yesiamaphysicist
The only place with more extreme recorded tides is the Bay of Fundy.
schizznatt
Beauty spot too.

Last winter where I live in the UK there were some tides so high that the harbor just overflowed, the entire wall was underwater.

Does it bother anyone else that it says "high and low tides" and then shows the low tides before the high tides?

and the fact that a majority of them are probably extreme minus tides.

I have anxiety dreams when I'm stressed, they usually consist of the tide trying to engulf me quite rapidly, or following me.

TheDrunkLord
No worries bro, it takes at least 6 hours for tides to change. Plenty of time to escape. You usually get 2 lows and 2 highs a day
cesairforgeroflightning
Not if the water creeps in behind your back and encircles you. Happened to me when I was 7. Not higher than maybe 1.5m, but still scary.
hyptosis
It's caused by the moon or something right?
bentwrenches
Or something.
TheDrunkLord
On most of the east coast you will experience 4 tides a day due to being directly next to the ocean. I hope this wasn't to much info
TheDrunkLord
Low tide is when the moon is 90 degrees from your longitude. Depending on the shape of the body of water you may not experience all 4 tides
TheDrunkLord
It is caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. High tide is when the moon is on your longitude or when it is 180 degrees from it.
TheDrunkLord
I get a bit carried away explaining this, I'm a sailor and love talking about the ocean. Sorry for not numbering the comments
TheDrunkLord
In the gulf of Mexico you experience 2 tides a day in most ports due to the narrow entrance from the Atlantic. Water must flow in from ocean
