   Get the lobster eggs benny... it is soooo good. It is market price though, so make sure to ask beforehand to not get sticker shock.

   An old-school diner that makes incredibly tasty food.

   13.68 CAD

   ~1 hour

   This is incredibly niche but I (Kayley) am a lover of Discovery's Shark Week and with Nova Scotia becoming a Great White Shark hotspot, it was so cool to be able to see Cross Island from the walk, which has become a go-to spot for the scientists to research the behaviour of the sharks in Canadian waters.

   We drove through the town of Lunenburg to get to The Ovens Park and wish we would have stopped to walk around it, instead of just driving through.

   A spectacular cliffside nature trail that culminates in sea caves (aka ovens).

   The weather can change drastically within minutes so be cautious and weary, especially along the rocks. There are warning signs of unfortunate events that have occurred due to carelessness from sightseers.

   An icon of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Canada.

8. Tom's Lobster Shack

   35.34 CAD

   ~30 minutes

   We got a truffle and a classic lobster roll to start and loved both, but if we had to choose our absolute favourite was the truffle one.

   Expensive: yes, worth it: definitely

   We had many lobster rolls on our weeklong trip around the East Coast of Canada and this was our unanimous #1.

   154 Peggys Point Rd, Peggy's Cove, NS B3Z 3S2
9. Margaret's Café

   12.54 CAD

   It was genuinely freezing for a summer day so we got coffee, a hot chocolate, a cookie, and a brownie to warm up as we strolled through Peggy's Cove.

    We sat outside at a table that had a fireplace built into it and it was so perfect for the slightly chilly temperatures that were creeping in as the sun was setting.

    A Japanese restaurant with some incredible tasting sushi rolls.
