Driving along Hwy 333 and 329 on the coastline southwest of Halifax around the shore of St. Margarets Bay and Mahone Bay brought some of our best maritime moments on the trip. Peggy’s Cove is a famous tourist attraction. Little did we expect when we first arrived at 10:45 am that there would be three tour buses from Halifax cruise ships with people every where. We immediately bailed from the scene and made plans to return in the evening towards sunset instead. Our campsite was only 5 miles away so we figured we might have a better chance at Peggy’s Cove without droves of tourists.

| See all those morning tourists at Peggy's Cove... there were 300 more too! |
Spending the rest of the day along an Atlantic coast drive lead us among the charming villages that line the coast toward Chester. In that community we were pleasantly surprised with its tree-lined streets and elegant residences that have been a favorite summer resort for vacationers from America’s East Coast for more than a century and a half.With two harbors and access to the bay with its 365 small islands, beautiful Chester is a yachtsman’s paradise. Enjoy a glimpse of a number of Nova Scotia’s most attractive villages and small towns. Elemental harshness and cozy domesticity exist side by side in the tiny fishing port called Peggy’s Cove.
We were able to catch the cove at dusk and its lighthouse at sunset.Off to find the next horizons…
Have a good day!
