Canada's coastline is 151,019 miles long, much of which is due to the 36,563 islands in Canada's Arctic north. The coast is not all ice and polar bears, though.
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Labrador have a collective 26,000 mile coastline home to charming scenery like picturesque fishing villages, dramatic cliffs, and sandy beaches.
Highlights in Newfoundland include Lumsden beach’s open white sands, cool lapping waves, and grassy sand dunes and Salmon Cove’s dramatic cliffs and fishing potential.
Nova Scotia has over 200 beaches along its coast, including the fauna-filled St. Catherine's River beach and Carters Beach, which has blue waters similar to Banff National Park.
Nestled in Vancouver Island is the underrated town of Tofino, an isolated community home to Chesterman Beach. This 1.7-mile stretch is known for surfing and whale watching.
