The rugged coasts where the land meets the sea have always held a special fascination and Atlantic Canada has some of the most spectacular shoreline on the continent. With thousands of kilometres of bays, beaches, harbours and headlands there is something for every interest and skill level. Join acclaimed Canadian sea kayak guide Dr. Scott Cunningham in an audio visual presentation with a special focus on the biology and geology of this diverse coastline: the rugged islands of Nova Scotia’s Atlantic archipelago, the whales and waterfalls of the Cape Breton Highlands, the highest tides on earth in the Bay of Fundy, Prince Edward Island’s beautiful sand beaches, and the deep fjords and icebergs of Newfoundland.
