The largest of Canada’s three maritime provinces, New Brunswick is surrounded by Nova Scotia, Québec, the state of Maine (United States of America) . . . and the sea.
This coastal province is characterized first and foremost by its magnificent sandy beaches, its rolling hills and spectacular valleys, as well as by the historic and modern architectural heritage in its cities, towns and villages. The beautiful Saint John River ― often called the Rhine of North America ― crosses New Brunswick from north to south.
