Soaring cliffs, windswept trails and scenic vistas dotted with lighthouses—you’ll find all of these (and more) on Canada’s picturesque Atlantic coast, which is highlighted on the third This Is Canada coin.  All along our eastern shores, the fresh salt air and harbours are reminders of how life here has always been closely tied to the sea and to seafarers. Whether you’re viewing icebergs, tall ships, migrating seabirds or a tidal bore, there are countless ways to soak in all the stunning coastal scenery and maritime culture that define the Atlantic Canada experience, a quintessential part of our national identity.

Coin #3: This is our Atlantic coast. This is Canada.
