Food Scene

The jewel in Herring Cove's crown. The coffee is delicious, the people are friendly, the art is interesting, and there is DeeDee's homemade ice cream in the summer. Sit inside, take away or enjoy the patio on a sunny day. A 15 minute drive from here.

Parks & Nature

One of the most beautiful beaches in the province is a 15 minute drive from here. Go on, spend every day at the beach! There is an awesome hiking trail that goes far beyond the three beaches and features more amazing giant rocks than iconic Peggys Cove.

Arts & Culture

My favourite museum, all about ships, including the Titanic. And the waterfront is a great place for a stroll. If you feel like going on a boat, there are harbour cruises, or the ferry to Dartmouth is just $2.50 (exact change needed), and ask for a transfer as it's good for the return trip within 2 hours.

The new Halifax Library is an amazing building in itself and has received accolades for the design. There are two Pavia coffee shop locations (1st and 5th floor). Great views from the roof off the 5th floor.

Sightseeing

Famous lighthouse and iconic scenery, gift shop, restaurant. Many people consider it a "must see" destination. Can be crowded, esp. if a cruise ship is in Halifax. Shaw's Landing, in nearby West Dover, comes highly recommended as a place to eat if you are visiting Peggy's Cove. Shaw's Landing, 6958 Highway 333, West Dover, NS B3Z 3S8. It gets great reviews on several sites, like Yelp, Trip Advisor.
