We had a wonderful day with a rental car. It was easy to pick it up and return it near the port. We drove out to Lunenburg and walked the waterfront and Old Town Lunenburg which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. We shopped, and enjoyed some lobster and fish and chips at the Fish Shack (very friendly staff and great food). Then we drove out to Peggy's Cove. On our way, we spotted a beautiful memorial which is about three miles before you get to the lighthouse. It honors the people who perished in 1998 on a Swissair flight and also has views of Peggy's Cove. Yes, Peggy's Cove is extremely touristy but the drive and landscapes and food along the way were magnificent. On the drive back we stopped for another lobster near Peggy's Cove but not at it from a U-Cook Lobster Truck. Great day!
