Yes indeed it is and has the highest and lowest tides in the world. This is caused by a tunnel effect as the tide comes in and out. Picture water sloshing back and forth in a bathtub.
I've walked on the ocean floor many times at low tide, but 12 hours later that same spot is covered in 50 feet of salt water.
More than once people have wandered out too far from shore and were cut off as the tide rushed in. The lucky ones were rescued by local fishing boats.
The bay itself really isn't anything special, but the phenomenon of the tides is.
