Travel along the Lighthouse Route, to take in the picture-perfect scenery of the South Shore.  You will arrive approximately 45 minutes later at Peggy’s Cove, which has been an artists’ and explorers’ paradise for well over 150 years.  This village is located right on the rugged Atlantic shoreline, standing on solid rock above the crashing surf.  The coastline is famous for pirates, shipwrecks, rumrunning and sunsets.  Have time at leisure to explore the weatherworn fishing shacks (complete with colourful buoys and lobster traps) still used by local fishermen, and awe-inspiring rock formations that have been carved out by the glaciers of the last Ice Age.  You will also view the famous sculpture created by local resident William deGarthe – a beautiful granite carving which depicts the life and people of the area.
 
Commonly known as “the prettiest town in Canada”, Lunenburg has recently been named one of the world’s few UNESCO World Heritage Sites by the United Nations.  Settled in the mid 1750’s by Germans and Swiss, its citizens still retain one of the most interesting accents in North America. Now a bustling fishing port, Lunenburg was once considered to be the busiest shipbuilding town in the world, and was the birthplace of the world-famous racing schooner Bluenose. The town’s distinctive architecture and extraordinary scenic beauty is a colourful reminder of our maritime heritage. Enjoy a walking tour of this historic town conducted by your guide, to learn the fascinating folklore of Lunenburg’s past and present. Highlights of this downhill stroll include the Lunenburg Academy and the details of the UNESCO designation. Also have a delicious lunch at the Old Fish Factory Restaurant.

On the return drive to Halifax, time for shopping at leisure will be made in Mahone Bay, famous for its picturesque scene of three waterfront churches. You’ll love this tour along our beautiful South Shore!
