New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces and the provincial capital is Fredericton. New Brunswick differs from the other Maritime provinces physiographically, climatologically, and ethnoculturally. Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either surrounded by, or are almost surrounded by water. On the other hand, New Brunswick, although having a significant seacoast, is sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean proper 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. Some of the province's tourist attractions include the Kings Landing Historical Settlement, Village Historique Acadien, Hopewell Rocks, La Dune de Bouctouche, Saint John Reversing Falls, Magnetic Hill, Magic Mountain Water Park, Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Preserve, Sugarloaf Provincial Park, Sackville Waterfowl Park, Fundy National Park, and the 41 km (25 mi) Fundy Hiking Trail.
