Armchair Tour - Page Seven - Nova Scotia

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 mighty 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
