Elbygina Posted July 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2017 We are renting a van. Which drive will be the best for scenery? Thanks! Elby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted July 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just drive a different route there and back - I'd recommend the more direct route on the way there and not stopping en route (approx 45mins without traffic). If you can get to Peggy's Cove before all those annoying tourists start rolling in by the busload you may actually be able to take some pictures and enjoy walking around rather than fighting your way through crowds and having to extensively edit picks to remove the hordes. Then return via Tantallon, where there are a few more nice villages up the coast (a little over and hour without traffic), and if you have time and want to see even more coastline continue south on 253/349/306 to Ketch Harbour and loop back for another hour-and-a-quarter-ish trip. Some locals like Maryann may have some more-specific bits of road that are even more scenic, the above was our choice of routes as visitors (and we made sure not to visit PC on a day when any cruise ships were in Halifax!)

maryann ns Posted July 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Here is a map. Ryer's Lobster will cook lobster and provide table, utensils, etc. to enjoy it on the spot. http://*******/2uMebAC If you have time then the coastal road which includes Portuguese Cove, Duncan's Cove and Ketch Harbour is interesting. https://goo.gl/maps/uhn8oGbKk6B2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare martincath Posted July 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2017 ^Your first link is just ***s, doesn't go anywhere Maryann. I've found that the most reliable way to post long links is to map them to a word or phrase in the post - highlight word(s), click the Insert Link button - and then there's never any shortening that renders the link invalid.
