Atlantic Canada holidays - Scenic, charismatic and striking
Nestled on the Atlantic Coast, Atlantic Canada consists of four unique provinces: the pristine sand beaches of New Brunswick, the spectacular red sandstone cliffs and rolling green hills of Prince Edward Island, the picturesque coastlines of Nova Scotia, and the phenomenal cliffs and waterfalls of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a perfect summer destination full of coastal charm.
The provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador make up Atlantic Canada. Holidays to this vast region are most popular in the summer, when long, warm days can be spent on the beach, strolling through seaside towns and tucking into fresh seafood.
From romantic breaks to long family holidays, Atlantic Canada really has something for everyone, and is certainly a hidden gem just waiting to be explored.
Things to do in Atlantic Canada
Each coastal province presents its own unique charm. Those looking for a beach holiday will love New Brunswick – there are over 50 beaches here, after all. Meanwhile, Prince Edward Island is picturesque and diverse, with dramatic red sand beaches, and green landscapes full of golf courses. Nova Scotia is the epitome of a seaside destination, with colourful coastlines, whale watching and delicious seafood.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s rugged cliffs are simply breath taking, and full of incredible natural attractions including dense boreal forests, wonderful whale watching, fascinating seabird colonies, and four National Parks. Whale watching is phenomenal here – there are 22 species to spot, including the world’s largest migrating population of humpbacks.
