The Waterfront Boardwalk ties together the primary tourism attractions along the Halifax Harbour and offers a mostly flat walking/biking/mobility vehicle route to access shopping & dining options. You can stop and visit the Canadian Museum of Immigration, the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market, the collection of temporary food shacks & seasonal vendors at the base of Salter Street, and the various places to linger for very good views of the Harbour & watercraft & Georges Island Lighthouse. There are a handful of public parking options along the length of the Boardwalk, with others up the hill in the city. You can also take one of two ferries from the Dartmouth side of the Harbour to access the Halifax Waterfront.

This is probably one of the best deals in town! Only $2.75 gets you on board the ferry for a 10-minute ride across the harbor to Dartmouth. If you spend 90 minutes or less on the other side, your ticket is a transfer that gets you home without paying again. The views from the water are great so make sure to bring your camera!!

Peggy's Cove lighthouse is a must see. It is the perfect place to take pictures and if you want some peace and quiet stay away from the main area and seek your piece of solitude. Along with her awesome beauty, there is a real danger when you venture to close to the edge. Please respect the warning,s the rocks are very slippery and to many people have lost their lives. Enjoy the scenery and leave with the memory.
