You can get to Nova Scotia several ways including by plane, train (VIA Rail) or by car.  However, cruising has become a popular way for tourists to discover what Nova Scotia has to offer.
 
According to the Port of Halifax in 2011, 19 major cruise lines docked ships in Halifax.  In 2010, 127 ships in total brought 261,216 visitors to our shores.

Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia

Peggys Cove, one of the top "must see" sights for any tourist visiting Nova Scotia.
 
Less than 50 kilometers from Halifax it makes for a beautiful day trip, and for me even the drive there along the coast of St. Margarets Bay is truely beautiful.
 
That coast has to be on of the most desirable places to live in Canada, and the size of some of the homes reflects that. The coast is tree lined and dotted with stunning inlets and bays.
 
The lighthouse at Peggys Cove is located on a granite out crop called Peggys Point and is still in active use today. You can find some great information including the history of the cove on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org ...
