There are 5 provinces who are located beside the Atlantic Coast, the most famous one is Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia is the second-smallest province in Canada, with an area of 55,284 square kilometres, including Cape Breton and another 3,800 coastal islands. As of 2015, the population was 942,900, making Nova Scotia the second-most-densely populated province in Canada with almost 20 inhabitants per square kilometre.

Nova Scotia is the gateway of Canada in history, it is one of the most important part when we talk about the ship trading and fishing culture. The Bay of Fundy is famous not only there are the world’s highest tides in the bay, but also it is the largest east coast port, with deep-water and ice-free.The capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax is home to Canada’s largest naval base. Nova Scotia has a long history of coal mining, forestry and agriculture. Today there is also off-shore oil and gas exploration. The province’s Celtic and Gaelic traditions sustain a vibrant culture. There are more than 700 festivals in Nova Scotia very year, including the spectacular military tattoo in Halifax.

I would like to live in Nove Scotia. The most important reason is I like ocean so much. I enjoyed the whale watching when I was travelling in some other countries. I love to sitting on the coast and feeling the smell of the sea. I also hope that I can have a boat then I can fishing and enjoying with my family.
