Nova Scotia is one of the smallest Canadian provinces. Nonetheless, it boasts a lengthy coastline abundant with fishing harbors and sandy beaches. This province also takes pride in its breathtaking landscapes. You will find one of North America’s most scenic drives here - the Cabot Trail. A picturesque coastal route, this highway skirts around Cape Breton Highlands National Park and Cape Breton Island. Cape Breton Highlands National Park is home to the province’s highest peaks, attracting campers and hikers. Another famous attraction here is Peggy’s Cove, a quaint fishing village known for Peggys Point Lighthouse.
