Vast forests, the imperious Atlantic Ocean on one side and the gentler wash of the Gulf of St Lawrence on the other, protected parklands and an abundance of wildlife characterise the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland with Labrador.

Steeped in seafaring history and with some 80 per cent of its land undeveloped, it is attracting visitors who crave a totally unspoilt environment. Sustainable forestry has overtaken fishing as the main commercial activity and the government has wisely restricted the amount that can be taken from the sea, but fishing remains a major activity and the many coastal villages are enlivened by their traditional way of life. It follows that, for lovers of fresh fish, a holiday in this area is a gastronomic as well as visual delight.
Newfoundland is a province that plays host to as many visitors a year as Toronto does in a weekend. Again, the deeply indented Atlantic coastline of ruggedly beautiful bays, inlets and coves makes every day spectacular, the parks have splendid walking and viewing opportunities and at the northern end of Newfoundland there is the seasonal opportunity to sail among icebergs.
