A small fishing village with a lighthouse on smooth granite rocks by the Atlantic, one of the most photographed places in Canada. Stay off the black rocks near the water; waves can sweep people away.


It's 45 minutes from Halifax. Lunenburg, a UNESCO-listed colourful port town, is further along the coast.
