What you will visit:
Peggy's Cove Fishing Village
Dating back to 1811, charming Peggy's Cove Fishing Village takes its name from St. Margaret's Bay. This rural fishing village, set against a backdrop of colorful fishing boats and the Atlantic Ocean, displays its maritime heritage around every corner and pays homage with its granite-carved DeGarthe Monument, which pays tribute to the local fishermen. Stroll along the quaint streets studded with local arts and crafts shops, candy stores and cafes. You'll delight in the iconic red and white lighthouse guarding its rocky shores.

The Fairview Lawn Cemetery
The Titanic sank approximately 750 miles from Halifax and has had a significant influence on the city's history. Fairview Lawn Cemetery is where the bodies of 121 victims of the Titanic, which were recovered from the icy waters of the Atlantic, were laid to rest. A tour guide shares stories of the victims, including the true identities of the unknown child and J. Dawson, who fans of the film believe was the inspiration for Leonardo DiCaprio's character. Most of the victims are memorialized with gray granite markers, and the graves are arranged in the shape of a ship's hull.
