After your visit to Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, take a short 15-minute scenic drive to the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, located near Peggy’s Cove itself.

It was originally constructed to protect the city from naval attacks and remains a symbol of Halifax’s rich military heritage. During this quick 15-minute photo stop, admire the impressive stone walls, historic cannons, and the panoramic views of the city skyline and waterfront.
