Nova Scotia or PEI? (waterpark, beach, best place) - Canada - City-Data Forum

Good morning, I have 5 days off in august and would like to visit one of these places. Can anyone give me their opinion on which they would see if they could only see one and why?

Thanks

I will also be passing through New Brunswick. Any suggestions there would also be welcome. I really do not know what there is to see. I do not think I can make it to Cape Breton.

Who are you travelling with (ages) and what do you (and they) like to do/see?

We are a family of four with two teenage daughters age 15 and 12. We prefer to see nature based attractions. Right now I am looking for the best place to view the tidal change.

Well that would definitely be at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick Tourism NB - you could go there, then either continue down to Fundy National Park/Alma for hiking/canoing/lobster feast, etc., OR go to the gorgeous Cape Enrage and go rappelling off the cliffs (they may have ziplines set up as well.

OH! TreeGo in Moncton is fantastic as well for the whole family. TreeGo

Personally, I think there is way more to do in NB than Nova Scotia and the beaches are definitely better in New Brunswick. The beaches in PEI are lovely - but the water is cold. Your girls would LOVE the beach scene Beaches in New Brunswick | Beach Holiday | Tourism New Brunswick Canada and Magic Mountain Magic Mountain Waterpark - Moncton, NB, Canada as well - total blast for their age group!

Check out St Andrews, NB.. I can't say enough about how lovely that town is

Sunshine.. do you remember the name of that beach in NB that has warmer waters from the gulf? Name escapes. Me. Google time.
Canada's Warmest Saltwater Beaches - New Brunswick - YouTube

The northern beaches of PEI also warm up

Agree though, there is plenty in NB to see/do... the only thing I did not like about NB was it was tough to get a job in my field, else I would have moved there. Such a nice province.
