Atlantic Canada's greatest charm and beauty lies off the beaten track, in the coastal towns and rural villages. Here you'll find characters, dialects, and the small wonders that touch the heart; the humourous story that you'll tell again and again; the bed and breakfast with the blueberry pancakes and antique quilt; and the lighthouse museum with those touching memoirs.
Regale yourself in the public gardens of Annapolis Royal, take in the Potato Museum at O'Leary, or shop the authentic general store in Wiltondale. Wherever you are, you're not far from your next favourite town. Come By Chance, Witless Bay, Big Pond, Tracadie, and Rustico: they'll enchant you with wharves, widow's walks, and the sheer music of their names.
Notice the difference. Village life begins just down the road.
