Breathtaking view of the Bay of Fundy, a lighthouse, and spectacular dining at the Lightkeeper&#8217;s Kitchen. The drive from Parsborough to Cap D&#8217;Or is even more thrilling than the Cabot Trail in my mind, which is why it&#8217;s referred to as the &#8220;mini-Cabot Trail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/brier_island_lighthouse.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5348 alignleft\" title=\"Westerning Lighthouse, Brier Island\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/brier_island_lighthouse.jpg\" alt=\"Places to see in Nova Scotia\" width=\"120\" height=\"91\"><\/a>2) <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/?p=4232\">Brier Island<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is a bucket-list destination.

Don&#8217;t forget to go whale watching!<\/p>\n<p>3) <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/?p=2028\">High Head Trail<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is the place to go to feel at peace with yourself. Relax stting on the rocks, close your eyes, smell the salt air as the waves pound against the rocks. You can easily forget about the rest of the world here. It can be a good 4-hour hike to complete the whole trail, though. <strong>Hidden gem of the province. <\/strong>This place gets no official marketing or publicity what-so-ever, and the locals probably don&#8217;t want us telling you about it, either. Close to Halifax, on the way to the well-known Peggy&#8217;s Cove.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5291\" title=\"Peggy's Cove Light\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/peggyscove_mini.jpg\" alt=\"What to see in Nova Scotia\" width=\"142\" height=\"80\"><\/p>\n<p>4) <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitingnovascotia.com\/?p=1785\">Peggy&#8217;s Cove<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is the iconic Nova Scotia destination.
