Coastal Drive to Peggy's Cove

Seek out an iconic landmark that has long inspired artists and photographers. Drive along the winding coastal highway past picturesque fishing villages to Peggy’s Cove. Once there, you may join an optional guided walking tour of the Lower Cove past the famous lighthouse, perched among a mass of boulders, and a huge granite carving which depicts local life. Spend free time strolling the harbour’s colourful clapboard cottages and fishing shacks, or browse the shops for handicrafts and artwork. Returning to Halifax, a short city sightseeing drive will introduce you to its many highlights.
