Sambro Island Lighthouse, near Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, is the oldest surviving lighthouse in North and South America. Cannons in the foreground were once used as fog warnings.
The Old Town of Lunenburg is a UNESCO world heritage site. Don’t miss out on the iconic Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse. It
is located in the middle of Route 333, just 45 minutes west of Halifax in Peggy’s Cove. Te drive along the coast from Halifax is scenic, filled with picturesque small towns and the rugged coastal landscape. As an authentic East Coast fishing village, Peggy’s Cove has 35 year-round residents and is one of the most visited by tourists. Originally settled in the 1800s, the town is perched along a narrow inlet along the Atlantic. Te first lighthouse was built in 1868 and was replaced with the current iconic red and white structure in 1915. Tis may be one of the most photographed lighthous- es in the province. Here the waves can crash against the shore with stun- ning ferocity, and visitors should heed the signs warning of unpredictable surf. Te massive, rounded, granite boulders that surround the lighthouse are fun to explore but can be dangerous, especially when they’re wet. While visiting be sure to stop in the Sou’Wester Gift
Shop and take a walk through the village to explore its shops, easily recognized by their signage. Should you find a short footpath at the end of the provincial parking lot, you will be led to one of the cove’s hidden treasures. Clam Pond is a small swimming hole and tidal pool with clear waters; this is the only place that it is advisable to swim in Peggy’s Cove.
