Start your journey with a visit to Nova Scotia’s most photographed lighthouse in the colourful fishing village of Peggy’s Cove. Get there early to beat the crowds, explore the cove and remember to take your selfies safely! You can grab breakfast at the Sou’Wester Restaurant, browse the arts & crafts stores and try the homemade ice-cream at Dee Dee’s.

This will be a great opportunity to top-up the charge on your EV while you walk around town and stop in for a bite to eat at the Fo’c’sle Tavern or the Rope Loft. If you’re looking for an adventure, the Kayak Shack has water access to Chester’s front and back harbours through rentals and tours of sit-in and sit-on kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, rowboats and canoes. Bicycle rentals are also available for the Chester Connection Trail, which follows the old train track path and runs from Martin’s River to Hubbards.

Close out your trip exploring Old Town Lunenburg — home to the Bluenose II and one of only two urban communities in North America designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk the distinctive waterfront and take a deep dive into Nova Scotia’s rich fishing heritage at Lunenburg’s Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic from mid-May to mid-October. The freshest Nova Scotia seafood and a breath-taking harbour view awaits you at The Old Fish Factory Restaurant — a favourite dining destination for both locals and travellers alike. If you’re staying the night, the Smuggler’s Cove Inn is situated in a prime location in the heart of town with access to EV charging for guests.
