The province of Nova Scotia may be home to over 160 historic lighthouses, but one of its best-known is found in the picture-perfect fishing village of Peggy’s Cove on the Bluenose Coast. Visit Peggy’s Point Lighthouse (pictured) and stay in the surrounding village, where wooden clapboard homes are scattered up the shore and boathouses on stilts pepper the waters. Don't miss the area’s active adventures, such as kayaking and hiking.
