Be sure to pack your swimming trunks and your binoculars. New Brunswick’s three unique coastlines are home to the warmest saltwater beaches north of Virginia, as well as some of the best whale-watching on Canada’s east coast. Sail around spectacular Grand Manan Island in a catamaran and watch for more than 12 species of whales. Stroll the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks. Kayak world-famous Chaleur Bay. Bask in the sun at Parlee Beach Provincial Park in Shediac, the Lobster Capital of the World (and of course, make time to experience the succulent seafood). Or pamper yourself at St. Andrews by-the-Sea, named one of the loveliest seaside resorts in the Maritimes. Come for a day on the coast, and come away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Tip: Explore the sensational white sand dunes at Bouctouche, just nominated for an International Destination Award.
