New Brunswick is bordered to the north by Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and by Chaleur Bay. Along the east coast, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and Northumberland Strait form the boundaries. In the southeast corner of the province, the narrow Isthmus of Chignecto connects New Brunswick to the Nova Scotia peninsula. The south of the province is bordered by the Bay of Fundy. To the west, the province borders the U.S. state of Maine.
New Brunswick differs from the other Maritime provinces physiographically, climatologically and ethnoculturally. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either completely or almost completely surrounded by water; oceanic effects, therefore, tend to define their climate, economy, and culture. On the other hand, New Brunswick, although it has a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean and has a large interior that is removed from oceanic influences. As a result, the climate tends to be more continental in character rather than maritime.
Places of interest here for tourists include Fredericton with its historic regions, the Bay of Fundy, the Saint John River Valley and Saint John city with its museums, parks and markets.
