How to Get Here

Nova Scotia and the Peggy's Cove Coastal Region can be accessed easily by air, land, or sea.

From Halifax International Airport follow  Highway 102 Southbound to Exit 3 and Highway 213. Then explore this picture-postcard area via Route 333, Highway 3, and Route 329.

From Halifax take Highway 103 to Exit 5 and follow the signs to discover St. Margaret's Bay and the surrounding communities. Or from Highway 103 take Exit 2B to Route 333 to world-renowned Peggy's Cove and the Bay.

From Yarmouth take Highway 3 and spend a day meandering along our scenic Lighthouse Route. Or drive the Highway 103 part-way, and then take any one of the convenient exits to follow the Lighthouse Route. Or, if time is of the essence, drive highway 103 to Exits 7, 6, or 5 and then savour this stunning coastal region.

From other entry points - Amherst, Caribou, and Digby - good, well-signed highways will bring you into Halifax and the Capital Region and on to St. Margaret's Bay.
