There. Now don't you feel better already?

Breathe often and at will. Because with enough coastline to stretch back and forth across Canada four times over, there's no shortage of breathing room here.

Which should come in handy. You may find yourself having to catch it as you stroll some of our many trails, some along ancient footpaths, through inlets, coves and bays. But when it comes to breathing room, we think you'll find plenty to share with the whales, seabirds, clotheslines and for that matter, your neighbours. Many of them venturing from all over the world. Coming here simply to inhale, to purge their mind, body and soul of all they left behind.

But when it comes to breathing room, the truly amazing thing here, besides the quality, is the quantity. The last thing you'll need here is a GPS system to tell you where to find it. Go as far as you like, north, south, east or west and you'll find that regardless of the amazing sights and sounds, you'll also find breathing room.

Whether you're dwarfed by Precambrian cliffs, or sitting on the front porch of a B&B looking up at the stars, it's impossible not to gain perspective here. And perhaps, recover a little sanity as you breathe in truly fresh air for the first time in years.

After all, isn't that what breathing room is all about?
