Fishing Villages & Lobster Dinners
All visitors to Canada’s eastern regions are eventually drawn to the salty breezes and dazzling reflections. Fishermen cast their nets, day in, day out. Gargantuan tides of the Bay of Fundy rise and fall. Powerful waves break on barnacled boulders. Worn lighthouses posture like unshakable sentinels.
Timelessness is keenly felt in Eastern Canada.
Only Halifax, a growing, optimistic city, can stop a visitor from slipping into relaxation overload. Canada’s answer to Ellis Island, Halifax was founded in 1749 and proved to be the beachhead for all further British settlement. Even though the explosion of 1917 reduced much of the city to splinters, most old colonial buildings still stand. Today its youthful entrepreneurial population provides many activities, including whale watching, exploring Pier 21, and touring the imposing Citadel National Historic Site.
