Peggys Cove

Peggy's Cove is 43 kilometers (26 miles) southwest of Downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name, a name also shared with Peggy's Point, immediately to the east of the cove. The village marks the eastern point of the St. Margaret's Bay.

Drive from Halifax to Lunenburg on the scenic Highway and you'll see several beautiful and historic lighthouses, the pricturesque town of Mahone Bay with its 3 churches, and Lunenbourg a Unesco World Heritage site with many older houses and churches. The views driving along the bay are spectacular!

Georges Island is a historical site with tunnels, a lighthouse, and plenty of Halifax History.  It is located in the Halifax Harbor, and there are multiple ferries going to and from the island.  Once on the island, you can enjoy self guided tours and scenic views.  Remember to bring hiking or sturdy shoes.  Ferries generally operate until mid-October, when the season ends.
