Experiences

Lighthouses & Coastal Touring

The shorelines of Southwest Nova Scotia are peppered with remarkable, historical lighthouses. Anchored on the rugged coasts, these structures have cautioned seafarers for centuries and offer a glimpse into our marine heritage. As wonderful places to picnic, enjoy a panoramic view of our coastal oasis or simply take in the salty sea air these unforgettable settings will offer many memorable keepsakes of your vacation. From Peggy’s Cove to Walton Lighthouse, Southwest Nova Scotia presents over 50 lighthouses to explore.

You’ll find vast expanses of beaches along the shores of Southwest Nova Scotia. From pristine white sandy beaches to the dramatic cliffs and red mud of the Bay of Fundy, you’ll find ever-changing vistas and timeless romantic settings.

Explore our Maritime way of life in a quaint fishing village. Find a local wharf and watch as Cape Islander fishing boats unload their bounty from the sea. Pause a while, and feel time stand still. Take a drive down our winding coastal roads and discover rum-runners hideouts, learn about privateer folklore and uncover mariners’ treasurers.
