Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse and Village

Description: Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, also known as Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, is one of Nova Scotia’s most well-known lighthouses and is considered to be the most photographed lighthouse in Canada. Located in the quaint fishing village of Peggy’s Cove along the South Shore, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse was built in 1915. Famed for its picturesque and typically East-Coast profile, with houses perched along a narrow inlet central to an active fishing community bordered by wave-washed boulders facing the Atlantic, many residents of Peggy’s Cove are from families that have resided in the village for generations. The community is not parkland and we ask that visitors respect the private property of residents. Surrounding the village of Peggy’s Cove is the Peggy’s Cove Preservation Area, 1,000 acres of protected land with a sensitive eco-system. We encourage everyone to stay on existing trails while exploring to prevent damaging the delicate plant life. Spend the day watching the waves and exploring around the rocks. Visitors are reminded to exercise caution at all times, as the ocean water around Peggy’s cove is dangerous. Rogue waves (unpredictable, rough waves) commonly splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. Stay off the wet, dark rocks and do not swim. The safest way to enjoy the view is to make sure you are walking on dry, white rocks. Learn more about safety at Peggy’s Cove and how to stay #SafeOnShore by visiting novascotia.ca/SAFEONSHORE/. Accessibility in Peggy’s Cove Overlooking the lighthouse and coastline is an accessible viewing deck which features long shallow ramps, landing spaces, handrails, photoluminescent strips, and multiple viewpoints. Additional accessibility upgrades throughout the village include accessible parking, trails, wayfinding signage and wheelchair accessible washrooms, help to ensure and provide a safe and accessible experience for everyone. Visit Peggy’s Cove Located just an hour from Halifax, Peggy’s Cove can be reached via Highway 333 (Prospect Road) from Highway 103, Exit 2B from Halifax or Highway 103, Exit 5 in Tantallon (connecting with Route 333 Peggy’s Cove Road). Bus tours are welcome.

Description: Perkins House, built in 1766, offers a glimpse of life in Liverpool as it was lived in Simeon Perkins’ day, when the harbour teemed with schooners, sailors, and privateers. In its time, Simeon Perkins’ property – now Perkins House Museum – was a bustling centre of international shipping and trade. Step inside the grand old house and explore the grounds of this colonial treasure. Discover the intrigue of Nova Scotian privateers, whom some considered protectors but others called pirates. Learn about the important role Perkins played in the local economy and in protecting the settlers during the American Revolution and later wars. Perhaps best known for the detailed diary he kept, Simeon Perkins provided a faithful record of his life and times. His diary provides vivid detail about what life was like in Liverpool from 1766 to 1812. Today, the information recorded in Perkins’ diary finds new life through the exhibits and interpretation at the Perkins House Museum, part of the Queens County Museum Heritage Complex.

Description: The Short Line Trail is a 120 km multi-use trail stretching along the Northumberland Shore of Nova Scotia, spanning three counties and linking the communities of Pictou, Scotsburn, River John, Tatamagouche, Wallace, Pugwash and Oxford. The trail is built on the railbed of the former Intercolonial Railway. Part of the Trans Canada Trail, the Short Line Trail connects our communities today as the railway did for nearly a century. The Short Line Trail passes by Pictou Harbour and Tatamagouche Bay on the Northumberland Strait and through forests and farmland. It skirts many wetlands and crosses numerous streams, some with large sandstone culverts. Large bridges span the Wallace River, French River, Waugh River and River John. Near Oxford, scenic smaller bridges and a tunnel add interest to the trail. Great for off-road bicycling or long-distance adventure, most sections of this easy, flat trail have a compacted gravel surface. Hybrid or mountain bikes are best suited for the trail surface. Access the trail at multiple trailheads with parking and trail panels including maps and local historical and cultural information. Rest areas with benches and picnic tables are located along the route. Trail use: Walking, bicycling, equestrian, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobile, ATV, dogs on leash. Users are to obey posted signs. The 3-km section of the Jitney Trail in the Town of Pictou is walking and cycling only.

Explore the history of mining sandstone, enjoy the waterfront amenities, restaurants and shops. The Wallace Area Museum (on Route 6, 2 km west of Wallace) boasts a 3 km walking trail known as “The Loyalist Trail” that links to the Short Line Trail. The 6.4 km Pugwash Salt Express Trail links to the coastal village of Pugwash, home to Thinkers’ Lodge, a National Historic Site where you can learn more about how this village first gained international recognition for peace in 1957. Explore a variety of food choices, accommodations and a beautiful waterfront with shops. Oxford, known as Blueberry Capital of the World, is the western end of the Short Line Trail where you will find a 55 m walking bridge over the River Philip and the Bunny Trail (walking/biking). Accommodations and food choices are available and be sure to check out the unique Alphabet Store on Water Street, 300 m from the Oxford Station Trailhead. The Trans Canada Trail continues north from Oxford to the New Brunswick border. Various sections of the Short Line Trail are maintained and managed by the Town of Pictou, Pictou County Trails Association, Tatamagouche Area Trails Association and Cumberland Trails Association.

Description: Located along the LaHave River in the heart of downtown Bridgewater, discover Pijinuiskaq Park. Honouring our region’s deep connection to our Mi’kmaq ancestors, the park’s name – Pijinuiskaq (pronounced BE-JN-OO-IS-GAH) – is the traditional Mi’kmaw name for the LaHave River, which translates to “having long joints or branches.” Open year-round, visit this riverside park to take in a concert, attend a festival, or to enjoy a picnic that you picked up from a nearby local eatery. In the summertime, be sure to bring along your canoe, kayak, or SUP to paddle the river from the floating docks. Sailboats and power boats frequent the park too – arriving by water, allowing boaters to pop into the shops and restaurants all along King and LaHave Streets.

Description: Pine Grove Park is a 54-acre community park situated in Milton in the South Shore region (Highway 103, Exit 19, north on Route 8). The park provides visitors with wide, easy walking trails (2 km total). The trail connects the major points of interest at Pine Grove and the scenic picnic area overlooking the Mersey River. Impressive native flora and plantings of rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias add to the beauty of Pine Grove. The park also has parking and washrooms available for visitors. Pine Grove is owned and maintained by the Region of Queens Municipality. The 54-acre community park at Pine Grove features a stunning June display of colour under the towering white pine canopy. Rhododendrons, azaleas, and magnolias were planted in the woods among the lady’s slippers, partridgeberry, and lonicera Canadensis and along the path upriver by Captain Dick Steele, a Member of the Order of Canada for his plant breeding work. Graveled trails lead through the trees to a scenic beach overlooking the Mersey River, with picnic tables, a fireplace, and an artesian well. Created in 1987 when Queens County was designated as the Forestry Capital of Canada, the park is also a duck breeding and resting area in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited.

Description: A designated Parks Canada National Historic Site Monument, Place Savalette is located in Port Felix on Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore and is recognized as a pioneering location of the “dry fishery” in Acadia. Captain Savalette, a fisherman from St. Jean De Luz, France, used the shores and islands around Tor Bay to carry out his viable fishery by catching and drying his fish in what is known today as Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore region from 1565 to 1607. It is believed that Captain Savalette made 42 voyages to the Tor Bay area, hosting many European fishermen and traders including Samuel de Champlain, Marc Lescarbot, and Nicholas Denys. Much was documented about Savalette’s hospitality and valuable knowledge of the dangerous waters in the area which was important helping researches to map this region. Each year in early August, Acadians gather in the Tor Bay area of the Eastern Shore to celebrate Festival Savalette. History of Place Savalette The story begins in the 16th century in St. Jean de Luz, a small port town situated in the French Basque region of southern France. Adventurous sea captains from this area engaged in a transatlantic commercial enterprise which had them go to what is now known as the Labrador coast of Canada to whale hunt. Whales were a source of oil used to provide light to Europeans long before electricity was discovered. One family of Basque captains was the Savalette clan. Jacques Cartier indicated at least three generations of this family participated in these annual whale hunts. Captain Savalette III, was among those who discovered another great resource which – commercial commodity-cod. Off the coast of Newfoundland, they discovered what later became known as the “tail of the Grand Banks”, one of the richest cod banks in the world. For that reason, Captain Savalette III, switched his business from whale hunting to cod fishing and made several voyages engaged in this practice. As was common for fishermen, they would follow the schools of this species which eventually brought them to the shores of what is today Cape Breton Island and its surrounding fishing banks. In 1565, Captain Savalette III discovered the Canso Banks and chose a home port, which today is known as Port Félix. From 1565 until 1607, Savalette came with a crew of 16 men to catch, salt and dry their catch on the many small island shores found off the mainland in what is today known as Tor Bay. They would return to France each fall with over 100,000 lbs of this seafood delicacy, destined for the Catholic countries of Europe where Fridays were declared fish days. However, in 1605, l’Acadie was founded by Samuel de Champlain and a company of men landed at Port Royal to establish the first permanent settlement in America, north of St. Augustine, Florida. In 1607, with Champlain still mapping out King Louis XIV’s overseas realm, he stopped to meet Captain Savalette at what is now Port Félix, to get information about the local areas to use on his maps that he was to bring back to the King. That year saw a historic meeting take place between these two Europeans and a band of local Mi’kmaq who spent their summers here in search of their winter supply of fish. This was a friendly meeting according to Marc Lescarbot, Champlain’s writer, and led to a new trading business between the Mi’kmaq and the Basque. Sassafras, ginseng and furs were traded for pots, pans and hunting guns. In 1949, a local researcher named Dr. Jost, discovered this story and encouraged the Federal government to recognize its importance and erect a memorial marker showing the site of this historic meeting. Amidst a well-attended event that year, a plaque was erected on a large boulder the forest between the communities of l’Anse à Charlo (Charlos Cove) and Cole Harbour, near Guysborough town, with only two bilingual sentences denoting its story. In 2005, la Société Acadienne de Torbé began an annual celebration called Festival Savalette in an attempt to revive and build this forgotten historic chapter. After years of celebrations taking place at this plaque site, the Society contacted Parks Canada about relocating the site to a proper oceanside location. Through additional research using Marc Lescarbot’s descriptions of the area and an evaluation by Parks Canada, it was determined that the true home port chosen by Captain Savalette III that was used for important fishing and the pioneering of the “dry fishery” in Acadia was Port Felix. Today, the monument park in Port Felix, which opened on August 7, 2019, includes the written history of this important area along with a series of professional paintings by a local artist depicted on interpretive panels that you can view on the deck of a 75’ boat monument that was built by a local builder.

The supervised swimming area, marked by red and yellow flags, begins on the right side of the breakwater and extends about 100 metres to the right of the lifeguard chair.

Description: The Port Joli Head Trail at Kejimkujik Seaside branches from the Harbour Rocks Trail, and crosses an extensive bog to a viewing platform overlooking Boyds Cove. The trail skirts clumps of coastal forest, which provide shelter for white-tailed deer and forest birds, and then follows the coast to Port Joli Head. Here you can witness the full force of the ocean. Crashing surf announces the energy of the waves, the wind whips salty spray into the air, cobblestones clatter as the waves recede, cries of gulls and eiders drift ashore, and the smell of seaweed is heavy in the air. Large boulders left behind by the glaciers sit perched on the rocky headlands, now encrusted with orange coastal lichens. When you explore these headlands be careful to keep your distance from the water’s edge, since rogue waves can wash across them. From Port Joli Head, the trail loops along the shoreline to Harbour Rocks Beach. Trailhead: Departs from Kejimkujik Seaside parking lot Significant Feature: Hike the headlands of Kejimkujik Seaside. Watch the swells roll in from the North Atlantic Ocean and waves crash against the cobble beach. Experience forests which are stunted by the rugged weather of the Atlantic seacoast. Length: 8 kilometres (5 miles) return to the parking lot Hiking Time: 2.5 hours Trail surface: Gravel and unmaintained footpaths Trail Rating: Moderate The trails at Kejimkujik (Maitland Bridge, NS) and at Kejimkujik Seaside (Port Joli, NS) showcase an incredible variety of habitats, scenery and places of cultural and historical significance. Please visit our website for maps and information on visitor safety and visitor services. Be responsible for your safety: Ensure that dogs are kept leashed and do not approach, disturb or feed wild animals Take along appropriate clothing – rapid weather changes often occur at Kejimkujik Seaside Have adequate sun protection (hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses) and carry water with you, especially for longer trails, climbs or open barrens Wear proper hiking footwear. Trail surface is variable and includes both graveled and natural surfaces, uneven terrain, loose beach cobble, and wet surfaces Bring insect repellent as black flies and mosquitoes are common all summer Stay on designated paths and boardwalks to protect fragile vegetation and to reduce your chances of encountering ticks Mountain bikes are permitted only where indicated, for visitor safety and protection of the environment Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back Date Details/Hours of Operation Visit the website for hours and seasonal information.

Description: French follows below | Le français suit ci dessous Port-Royal National Historic Site features a reconstruction of a French Habitation and provides a living history experience. From kitchen and forge to Artisan’s quarters and trading room, each room has a function and visitors are invited to interact with its contents. Additionally, as you explore, you’ll likely meet a French colonist. Sit and have a chat with them as they share their work and personal stories including their friendship with the Mi’kmaq. When French merchant and explorer, Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons, and his cartographer, Samuel de Champlain, scouted for an area to settle in 1604, they originally chose the Saint Croix Island in the Saint Croix River between Maine and New Brunswick. However, after a particularly harsh winter on the island, during which half of the 79 colonists died of scurvy, de Mons realized he needed to find a more sheltered location that also offered a reliable source of water, farmland and wood. Port-Royal, Nova Scotia The colony was relocated to Nova Scotia to the head of what would later be called the Annapolis Basin. Champlain declared that the site was “the most suitable and pleasant for a settlement that we had seen.” They called the spot Port-Royal, in recognition of the French king who had granted de Mons a monopoly on the area’s fur trade, and it became the first attempt of a permanent European settlement north of Florida. Port-Royal History Port-Royal was one of the first European settlements in North America, leaving a lasting legacy on the area that can still be felt today. The Mi’kmaq people, who had lived in the region for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the colonists, welcomed the French and a friendship and alliance was formed. Champlain and the men never forgot the hardships they had experienced on St. Croix and worked to make entertainment a regular part of life at Port-Royal. This included a theatrical performance titled The Theatre of Neptune in New France and founding the now famous Order of Good Cheer (l’Ordre du Bon-Temps in French), which saw the men enjoying lavish meals and festivities through the winter of 1606-1607. The Order is still active to this day. Despite its success, Port-Royal’s future as a permanent settlement was cut short when the French king revoked de Mons’ monopoly. In the fall of 1607, the colonists returned to France, leaving the habitation in the hands of their Mi’kmaq allies until their return in 1610. Sadly, in 1613 while the settlers were away, an English expedition from Virginia looted and burned the Habitation. Present-Day Port-Royal Today, the Port-Royal National Historic Site of Canada features a reconstruction of the settlement’s early 17th- century buildings, including the distinctive, closed-in quadrangle known as the Habitation. Visitors can step back into the earliest days of French exploration to gain an impression of the place where these early settlers lived. Date Details/Hours of Operation Open daily 9 am to 5 pm. Services change with the seasons. The grounds are open year-round. Lieu historique national de Port Royal Le lieu historique national de Port Royal présente une reconstitution de l’Habitation française et offre une expérience d’histoire vivante. De la cuisine à la forge en passant par les quartiers des artisans et la salle de traite, chaque pièce a une fonction, et les visiteurs sont invités à interagir avec son contenu. En outre, au cours de votre visite, vous rencontrerez probablement un colon français. Asseyez vous et discutez avec lui de son travail et de ses histoires personnelles, y compris son amitié avec les Mi’kmaq. Lorsque le marchand et explorateur français Pierre Dugua, sieur de Mons, et son cartographe Samuel de Champlain ont cherché une région où s’installer en 1604, ils ont d’abord choisi l’île Sainte Croix, dans la rivière Sainte Croix, entre le Maine et le Nouveau Brunswick. Cependant, après un hiver particulièrement rude sur l’île, au cours duquel la moitié des 79 colons sont morts du scorbut, de Mons s’est rendu compte qu’il devait trouver un endroit plus abrité offrant également une source d’eau fiable, des terres agricoles et du bois. Port Royal, Nouvelle Écosse La colonie a été déplacée en Nouvelle Écosse, à la tête de ce qui sera appelé plus tard le bassin Annapolis. Champlain a déclaré que le lieu était « le plus propre et le plus agréable à habiter que nous eussions vu ». Ils ont baptisé l’endroit Port Royal, en reconnaissance du roi de France ayant accordé à de Mons un monopole sur le commerce des fourrures de la région. Il s’agit de la première tentative d’établissement d’une colonie européenne permanente au nord de la Floride. Histoire de Port Royal Port Royal a été l’une des premières colonies européennes en Amérique du Nord, ce qui a laissé dans la région un héritage durable encore perceptible aujourd’hui. Les Mi’kmaq, qui vivaient dans la région depuis des milliers d’années avant l’arrivée des colons, ont accueilli les Français. Une amitié et une alliance se sont formées. Champlain et ses hommes n’ont jamais oublié les rudes épreuves vécues à Sainte Croix et se sont efforcés d’intégrer des formes de divertissement à la vie quotidienne à Port Royal. Par exemple, une pièce de théâtre intitulée Le Théâtre de Neptune en Nouvelle France a été présentée, et le désormais célèbre Ordre du Bon Temps, qui a permis aux hommes de profiter de repas somptueux et de festivités pendant tout l’hiver 1606 1607, a été fondé. L’Ordre est actif à ce jour. Malgré ce succès, l’avenir de Port Royal comme lieu d’établissement permanent a été interrompu quand le roi de France a révoqué le monopole de de Mons. À l’automne 1607, les colons retournent en France, laissant l’Habitation aux mains de leurs alliés mi’kmaq jusqu’à leur retour, en 1610. Malheureusement, en 1613, alors que les colons sont absents, une expédition anglaise de Virginie pille et brûle l’Habitation. Port Royal aujourd’hui Aujourd’hui, le lieu historique national de Port Royal présente une reconstitution des bâtiments du début du XVIIe siècle, y compris le quadrilatère fermé caractéristique connu sous le nom d’Habitation. Les visiteurs peuvent se plonger dans les premiers jours de l’exploration française et se faire une idée de l’endroit où vivaient ces premiers colons. Plus d’informations/heures d’ouverture Ouvert tous les jours, 9 h à 17 h. Les services varient au fil des saisons. Les terrains sont ouverts toute l’année.

Tangier is also a gateway to the 100 Wild Islands which can be seen from the Park, and the opportunity for a wilderness experience.

Description: The Prince of Wales Tower National Historic Site, located in Point Pleasant Park (Tower Road entrance) in Halifax was built in 1796-97 by order of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent which later came to be called the Martello Tower. The first tower of its type in North America, this thick-walled round structure was intended to protect British sea batteries from a French landward attack. The tower served as part of Halifax’s coastal defence network – a system of forts and batteries that helped protect and defend Halifax Harbour. In 1866, the military offered Point Pleasant Park to the City of Halifax on a 999-year lease for an annual rent of one shilling. Today, interpretive panels portray the tower’s history, architectural features and significance as a defensive structure. Visitors are welcome to explore the exterior of the tower and learn about its long history. The park offers 39 km of easy, criss-crossing trails with some leading to preserved ruins of early fortifications. No fee and no visitor services The inside of the tower is not open for visitation.

Description: Feel the adrenaline rush of battling some of the biggest game in the Atlantic Ocean—the giant Bluefin Tuna. Join Captain Andrew Rankin, a third generation fisherman with 37 years of experience and his grown children for a tour aboard their boat, the Brown Eyed Girl ’17. On our tuna charters you can jig mackerel and view sea life, such as pilot and minke whales, porpoises, seals and bald eagles. The tours depart from picturesque Mabou Harbour, surrounded by rolling farmlands and the hills of Mabou highlands. Cape Breton fishermen have hauled the biggest tuna in the world with Bluefin tuna reaching speeds of up to 88 kms per hour. The World Record Bluefin tuna was caught off Cape Breton on October 26, 1979 weighing in at 1,491 lbs. Also, the highly valued Japanese delicacy, maguro (Bluefin sushi) is a profitable industry in the Cape Breton area. Fishing charters are offered from September 1 to October 31 and include local food and beverages. Rankin Tuna Charters is located 10 minutes from the village of Mabou, an area that is rich in Celtic culture. After a day on the water, relax at the famous Rankin Family-owned, Red Shoe Pub or at nearby Glenora Distillery, North America’s first single malt whisky distillery. Mabou is also located on the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail, Nova Scotia’s first destination trail for cyclists, and minutes away from the acclaimed Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs golf courses, as well as the world famous Cabot Trail.
