Atlantic Canada

Consisting of the four coastal provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, Atlantic Canada makes for a fabulous summertime getaway. New Brunswick is the place to go for beaches, while Prince Edward Island offers picturesque green pastures. Newfoundland and Labrador boosts naturally rugged landscapes to explore and Nova Scotia offers up plenty of quaint fishing villages to frequent.
