Designated by Frommer's Guide as the Best View in Canada, Cape Enrage has the undisputed best view of the Bay of Fundy at this award-winning attraction!
From atop the 46-m (150-ft.) cliffs, you’ll see a panoramic view of the entire bay from Apple River to Dorchester to Quaco.
On-site guides offer climbing and rappelling off the steep rock faces. You can also zip along the cliffside on a 183-metre (600-foot) zipline. Head to the Cape House Restaurant in the original lighthouse-keeper’s house, where you can enjoy the dramatic view while dining on pan-seared local scallops, foraged fiddlehead ferns and lobster n cheese.

Just an hour from Halifax, Peggy's Cove and the lighthouse may be reached on Highway 333 from Halifax or Highway 103 from Halifax to Exit 5 and then Route 333.

The hidden gem in peggys cave region are the tidal pools full of ocean life that is left behind when the tide recedes. The most accessible pools are found on the ocean side of route 333 to the east of Peggy's Point Road. These pools are teeming with a variety of sea creatures that live on the ocean floor - mussels, clams, starfish, amoeba, sea urchin, etc. There are great spots for the kids to explore when the tide is out. A tidal pool can also be found at the end of the parking lot at the Peggy's Cove Visitor Information Centre. Once you see the bench, follow the path down.

Wandering on the rocks can be dangerous. Please be careful and obey all signs. The best guide is to stay off the black and wet rocks. A rogue wave can appear at anytime and wash you out to sea. It has happened before. What makes the area beautiful also makes it dangerous.

http://www.peggyscoveregion.com/peggys-cove-area-the-story-of-peggys-cove/

Interesting natural stories, pitcher flower/Sundew, bug eating plants

Peggy's cove is worth reserving more time to enjoy the view and explor the giant rocks. If with kids, the tidal pool near the information center is easily reached.

Located at the Port of Sydney(60 Esplanade, Sydney, NS B1P 1A1), the iconic fiddle and bow reach 60 feet in height. Also home of North America’s only living Celtic culture, residents felt the fiddle was a strong symbol to represent the island.  Officially named  FIDHEAL MHOR A’ CEILIDH, or the Big Fiddle of the Ceilidh, the giant fiddle plays a dedicated medley composed by local musician Kinnon Beaton.
