Nova Scotia
Almost cut off from the rest of Canada by the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia is compact and easy to get around. You'll never be more than 60km from what best defines the province - the ocean. Picturesque fishing villages, abundant seafood, and the stark beauty of Cape Breton Island are highlights of a visit to Nova Scotia. Along the South Shore, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg get all attention for their postcard-perfect oceanfront settings, but many other South Shore villages you won't see in the tourist brochures are equally scenic and a lot quieter. Stroll the waterfront sections of West Dover, Prospect Point, or Blue Rocks to experience Nova Scotia without the crowds. The Bay of Fundy is no scenic gem, but with the world's highest tides and resident populations of whales, it offers huge attrations. The best place to whales is on a tour from Digby Neck, while the tidel bore can be viewed at Truro. Cape Breton Island is one of Nova Scotia's biggest draws. The island's most spectacular scenery lies within the protection of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. The Cabot Trail, one of the world's scenic drives, passes through the park, allowing roadside views of high sea cliffs, endless ocean, white-sand beaches, and occasionally whales flocking in the water far below.
