The Tidal Wave Memorial is a memorial for the victims of the 1929 tsunami. It is labelled one of the most beautiful monuments on the Burin Peninsula and holds deep historical value to the region. The devastating tsunami which shook the area occurred in November 1929 when a portion of the Ocean Floor shifted on the Grand Banks, causing a tsunami, also known as a tidal wave. Though not official, the four pillars of the monument are popularly believed to represent a human hand rising above the water and asking for help. This monument is a must-visit on your trip to Burin.
