Canadian Maritimes

Sea-struck cyclists will find their bliss in Canada’s Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Coastal bike routes are lined with blue-on-blue views of sky and sea. Our accommodations, never far from shore, include PEI’s friendly country inns and Nova Scotia’s elegant Victorian mansions. Evening feasts celebrate the ocean’s bounty: PEI mussels, Digby scallops, fresh-caught salmon, and luscious lobster. Even our off-bike adventures have a maritime theme, from sailing in Lunenburg Bay to exploring the sandy dunes and beaches of PEI National Park.
