A trip to the Maritimes is not complete without at least one visit to a lighthouse! Peggy’s Cove is the quintessential Canadian landmark not to be missed on your adventures in Nova Scotia. Soak in the charming nautical vibe on the shores of St. Margaret’s Bay – the colourful boathouses, the local artisan shops, the seafood restaurants and the oceanfront campgrounds.
We took a pair of couples and gave them an RV for a week to tour the province. Of course, Peggy’s Cove was one of many spectacular pit stops on their journey. Find out where and what they explored on their outdoor adventures across Nova Scotia.
