I am hoping to take a trip to the east coast of Canada early this fall. I am looking for advice on possible sea kayak day trips. I am mainly looking at the east coast of Canada, but may also range south of the border. I have copied Hal Levine's great suggestions for Maine. Thanks in advance.

You might go to http://www.gorp.com/atb and do a search on Nova Scotia, Labrador, Newfoundland and "Sea Kayaking". Don't buy the books there though. Go to amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com for better prices.

Hi John, I just returned from a week paddling/camping in Nova Scotia and will definitely return to do the same ASAP. The people were incredibly friendly and generous. The weather and exchange rate were both in our favor. I spent several days on the south shore around the Lunenburg area where there are a variety of interesting paddling opportunities ranging from very protected to quite open in any variety of lengths. I also spent some time up in Cape Breton where the paddling was not as interesting but the sights on land and the people encountered more than made up for the difference. Last summer we spent some time up north of Moncton at a national park called Kouchebouguac (or something similar) There were some water front walk-in camping sites just past the park on the opposite shore which were ideal for a paddling base though again the area is not as interesting to paddle in as some locals further south. Have fun. mark On Tue, 11 Aug 1998, John Waddington wrote: > I am hoping to take a trip to the east coast of Canada early this fall. > I am looking for advice on possible sea kayak day trips.

If you will be passing through New Brunswick, I highly recommend you do the day paddle bewteen Mispic Beach(on the edge of the Bay of Fundy, 10 miles east of Saint John), and St. Martins. I have paddled the entire coast of Oregon(easly one of the most interesting(deverse and rugged) coasts in North America), and I believe the day paddle between Mispic and St. Martins is just as good, if not better than any stretch of scenery on the coast of Oregon. There are caves, many huge pillers of rock rising out of the ocean(some that are flat and grassy that you can tent on top of), harbour seals, whales, and totally secluded beaches with surf almost never over one foot(if any at all). The only requirement is that you have to plan your trip so that you are ALWAYS paddling with the tide. The difference in ebb and flood is often 20 to 25 feet. Don't even think of fighting. Have fun... ALWAYS!
