There are warm water beaches, and very, very cold waterbeaches.<BR><BR>the warm ones are on Prince Edward island, and on the new Brunswick shore of Northumberland Strait, near Shediac.<BR><BR>The tides mean that the water level drops, leaving small, shallow pools of quite warm water, which are wonderful places for kids to play for hours.<BR><BR>If I was going with kids, I'd skip Cape Breton and the Cabort Trail, which is scenery-rich and appeals top adults.<BR><BR>I'd look for forts; kids love these. Downtown Halifax has its Citadel, and there's Fort Beausejour between NB and Nova Scotia, and Louisberg in NS come to mind.<BR><BR>BAK

Altough a NS'er, I would suggest PEI with children of that age. The beaches are wonderful and the amusement type activity abundent. Cavendish area is what I am talking about. However, NS has a lot to offer as well.<BR>
