Described by sone as "the rock" and others as "the last wilderness" Newfoundland and Labrador is a paddler's paradise. Caressed by the arms of the Labrador Current from the north and the Gulf Stream from the south, the coastlines of Newfoundland and Labrador have 17,540 kilometres of natural beauty and wilderness - where whales and seabirds are common companions. This richly informative guide provides the ocean kayaker with an overview and detailed maps of some of the most popular coastal routes in the province. The guide is divided into two parts: the first provides an insight into the natural environment of Newfoundland and Labrador's coastal zones, as well as a general reference guide for trip planning, ethics and safety; the second describes over fifty popular kayaking routes organized by region.
