From
its historic roots with
New England, Nova Scotia
is perhaps the best
known of the four Atlantic
Canada Provinces. Its
key is its variety. There
are so many faces to Nova
Scotia, that one visit
can not reveal them all.
Almost surrounded by water,
it has several different
coasts. The mightily Atlantic
has long battered the
many villages reliant
on the sea. In fact, Nova
Scotia once lead the world,
in the "Age of
Sail"
|
With New Brunswick, it
shares the Bay of Fundy,
with its abundant marine
life and the world's highest
tides. Nova Scotia also
has a northern shore.
This warm watered and
sandy coast shares characteristics
with Prince Edward Island.
Cape
Breton Island lies
at the province's eastern
end. Here is the home
of Scottish culture in
the New World. This Island
is considered one of the
finest cycling destinations
in the world. From its
far eastern end two ferries
run to Newfoundland
