ATTRACTIONS
SHORE CLUB Hubbards
Come for the lobster supper, stay for the music and dancing. The Shore Club has earned its reputation as “Nova Scotia’s Last Great Dance Hall” and “Home of the Original Lobster Supper.” Since 1936, they have been serving their classic Nova Scotia lobster supper; a whole lobster with one pound of fresh, cultivated mussels, unlimited salad bar, a roll, and a dessert of choice with tea or coffee.
*Lobster suppers served May through October.
THE SCHOOLHOUSE
Peggy's Cove Village
Experience fiddle music as it is meant to be heard, and pick up a few dance steps and Gaelic words along the way. Three half-hour performances each day.
SS ATLANTIC HERITAGE PARK
Terence Bay
The SS Atlantic Heritage Park is a memorial to those who perished in the sinking of the SS Atlantic off the shores of Lower Prospect on April 1, 1873. The waterfront park features ocean views, a seaside boardwalk, and an interpretive centre.
YORK REDOUBT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
Ferguson’s Cove
High on a bluff overlooking the entrance to Halifax Harbour sits the remains of a fortification that helped protect the port of Halifax through three centuries of Canadian history. Part of Halifax’s formidable Defence Complex, York Redoubt was constructed in 1793 just as war broke out between Britain and France.
Visitors are reminded to exercise caution at Peggy’s Cove. Unpredictable, rough waves often splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days.
MUST-DO EXPERIENCE
PEGGY’S POINT LIGHTHOUSE
Peggy’s Cove Village
The Peggy's Point Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. Located in an active fishing community famed for its picturesque village, this iconic Canadian attraction is well worth the short drive from Downtown Halifax.
Visit the region in July during the annual Peggy's Cove Area Festival of the Arts to watch artists create works of art in real time, using the area as inspiration.
