Top 10 attractions in Queensland
Peggy's Cove
Peggy's Coveis located approx. 43 km southwest of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is a small fishing village facing the Atlantic Ocean and one of the most iconic coastal views in the area. The village is spread across a massive granite formation, with white boulders, smoothed by waves and glaciers, extending from the village entrance to the water's edge. Colorful fishing shacks, docks, and lobster traps dot the landscape, creating a picturesque scene that has long attracted photographers and painters. The origin of the village's name is a subject of much debate, but the most popular version involves a shipwreck survivor—people called her "Peggy," and the village was named after her.Halifax · 18.1 km from Queensland
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse is located in the fishing village of Peggy's Cove, southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and is one of the most iconic coastal landmarks on Canada's east coast. Built in 1915, the lighthouse sits among vast granite rocks, facing the Atlantic Ocean, and has long served as a navigational guide for nearby maritime traffic. With its distinctive white tower and red lantern, combined with the view of waves constantly crashing against the rocky shore, it has gradually become a well-known photography and tourist destination in Canada. The surrounding area retains its traditional fishing village charm, allowing visitors to not only enjoy the coastal scenery but also experience the unique atmosphere of the Nova Scotia coastal region. Compared to large city attractions, Peggy's Cove Lighthouse emphasizes the blend of the natural coastline and historical maritime culture. On clear days, the view of the sea meeting the sky in the distance is expansive, while on windy days, the sight of Atlantic waves crashing against the rocks is truly breathtaking.Halifax · 18.1 km from Queensland

Gorgeous! We busted around mid October and the leaves were begging to change. Everything was so well kept and picture perfect. They had flowers I’d never seen before. They were so pretty!! Enjoyed walking around here for a while!
