A beautiful coastal drive takes you past picturesque coastal villages and inlets to the rugged fishing community of Peggy's Cove. With its breathtaking location on a narrow coastal inlet characterized by wave-worn granite boulders and crashing surf, this charming little village is one of Canada's most photographed sites. The lighthouse serves as a beacon to fishermen and is a post office with its own special postmark. Peggy's Cove has inspired artists the world over. En route back to the ship, you'll enjoy a short drive around Halifax to familiarize yourself with the city's many highlights. Note: Walking at Peggy's Cove is optional. If you choose to explore the Peggy's Cove area, wear warm clothing, a raincoat and sturdy low-heeled shoes as the wind often carries salt water spray great distances.
