Here you can explore pristine beaches where agates and sparkling amethysts are the gifts of the waves. Hike a deep forest trail to a cascading waterfall, or enjoy the endless view from high atop soaring seacliffs. This is a land where eagles and osprey soar, where moose graze in quiet marshes and fall migrations bring hundreds of thousands of shorebirds. The towns and villages of the Glooscap Trail offer a warm welcome. Our food is memorable too-fresh steamed lobster, wild blueberry pie and creamy seafood chowders are everyday fare in these parts.
Museums are our specialty.
