2. Cape Forchu Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 508 reviews
Welcome to Cape Forchu, a Light Like No Other. This spectacular and unique "apple core" lighthouse is the second most photographed lighthouse in Nova Scotia and located just 10 minutes outside the Town of Yarmouth. The Cape has been welcoming visitors since 1604, when Samuel de Champlain landed and named the area "Cap Forchu," meaning "Forked tongue of land."

It's not just a lighthouse to take photos. It is a beautiful location to hike and enjoy the cool breezes on a hot summer day. Nice people working in the gift shop, too.
3. Lunenburg Historic District

Among the list of Unesco World Heritage sites in Canada, only two have earned the designation of "Historic Districts": -- the "Historic District of Old Quebec" and "Old Town Lunenburg". Lunenburg's well-preserved historic district is a pleasure to the eye and fun to wander, with many old buildings, lots of interesting shops to peruse and excellent restaurants for dining. Founded in 1753 as a British colonial settlement, Lunenburg retains the charm of the times. The waterfront with tall ships and other vessels is especially interesting to see -- particularly when the pride of Nova Scotia, the iconic Bluenose II, is in port (see separate review). Plan to spend at least 1/2 day exploring this charming site! Highly Recommended

A beautiful historic area at the harbourfront. Its buildings are antique-type and beautiful. Has lots of options for souvenirs and gifts and surrounded by restaurants of all kinds; from junk food to fancy restaurants. Yet, I didn't like that they close very early in the evening at 6:00, so one can't visit after having a nighttime walk by the harbourfront.
