Take an unforgettable coastal drive packed with Nova Scotian seascapes, seafood, and seafaring history.

Peggy's Cove
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.

Chester
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.
