For Canadian travel junkies who are eager to explore the True North this spring, the warmer temperatures of May offer a perfect opportunity to escape your hometown. Whether you\u2019re craving the idea of an island retreat in Charlottetown or dreaming of sipping wine in the Okanagan, we\u2019ve curated our roundup of must-visit travel destinations across Canada.<\/p>\n

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island: <\/strong>As the capital of PEI, this tranquil city is a peaceful destination during the spring months. From May 18 to May 22, Charlottetown hosts the May Run Music Festival, which focuses on Canadian and Prince Edward Island artists. Meanwhile, avid foodies can visit Merchant Man Fresh Seafood & Oyster Bar for seafood chowder or island mussels. If you\u2019re in a crafty mood, drop by local shops like the Garnish Jewellery Studio and Cordelia\u2019s Artisan Boutique to stock up on accessories and artwork. Naturally, the breathtaking scenery of this Prince Edward Island is reason enough to book a trip- with your selfie stick in hand, of course.<\/p>\n

Nipigon, Ontario: <\/strong>Located in Thunder Bay District, Northwestern Ontario, this tiny township is right by the Nipigon River. If you\u2019re an outdoor enthusiast, this small town destination is a gateway to Lake Nipigon and Lake Superior, and also home to Lake Nipigon Provincial Park. With majestic cliffs and beaches known for green-black sand, Nipigon also features striking scenery. While you\u2019re in town, stop by the Nipigon Marina, go sailing on the open waters or enjoy a family-friendly day at the Paddle to the Sea Park.<\/p>\n
