Fodor's Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, with Newfoundland and Labrador

An area of great natural beauty, Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador) can be a phenomenal adventure: kayaking, whale-watching, skiing, and dog sledding are just a few of the ways to dive in headfirst. White sandy beaches, lobsters in pot, and cosy inns steeped in history make it easy to have a relaxing break, too. Prince Edward Island has uncrowded beaches and the warmest water north of the Carolinas, ideal for swimming, canoeing or windsurfing. Newfoundland and Labrador is a world unto itself, where humpback whales feed nearby and 10,000-year-old icebergs cruise by fishing villages. To make your trip unforgettable, our local writers list the best hotels, restaurants, attractions, activities, where to sample the local cuisine and where to shop for local crafts, including pottery, blown glass, hand-knits and hooked rugs. Before you leave for coastal Canada, be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to ensure you don't miss a thing.
