Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island,
New Brunswick, Newfoundland
and Labrador are the picturesque
maritime gems known collectively
as Canada’s Atlantic Provinces.
The coastline is rugged, wild and
unforgettably beautiful, the vibe is
distinctly laid back, the villages are
quaint, the outdoor activities are
endless, the wildlife is plentiful, and
the lobsters are the most delicious
we’ve ever tasted!
Atlantic Provinces
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
What Canada’s smallest province lacks in size, it more
than makes up for with sheer beauty and boundless
culture. Charlottetown is where the founding fathers
met to transform Canada from a colony to a country.
It’s also an amazing place to head outdoors, for
fishing, hiking, kayaking, whale and seal watching.
NEW BRUNSWICK
New Brunswick is a charming destination of varied
landscapes. Saint John is New Brunswick’s largest city,
surrounded by sandstone cliffs and sandy beaches.
The Bay of Fundy is home to the world’s highest tidal
range as well as the spectacular Hopewell Rocks.
One of Canada’s oldest seaside resorts, St. Andrews
has a laid-back atmosphere and is impossibly pretty,
whilst nearby Shediac is known as the lobster capital
of the world.
NOVA SCOTIA
The provinces’ capital city, Halifax provides the
gateway to the Atlantic Provinces. It is also home
to the 200 year old Fort Redoubt National Historic
Site, which is just one of many cultural and historic
attractions of Halifax. Just a short drive along the
southern coastline, brings you to the ever-popular
picturesque towns of Peggy’s Cove; famous for
its lighthouse, and Victorian Lunenburg. These
towns, as well as the quaint fishing villages dotted
along the extensive coastline, create a varied and
welcoming environment for visitors. A highlight of
any stay in Nova Scotia is beautiful Cape Breton
Island, a fascinating blend of Scottish, Native and
Acadian communities. Follow the 187 mile Cabot
Trail as it twists between the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and the Atlantic, or head out to the wilds of Cape
Breton Highlands National Park.
