    Incredible views, a must see ! I enjoyed it more than Peggyโ€™s cove lighthouse. The trail is very short, around 10min, but you need to take a left almost and the end for the real deal where you are going to find the rocks and open views. You can end up spending hours exploring the area. For parking if you pass the trail a little bit you are able to find more parking spaces at the road side

    One of the best trails weโ€™ve ever been in Nova Scotia! Better than Peggyโ€™s Cove light house in my opinion.

    This was a beautiful hike and a definite must if you are in Nova Scotia. The scenery is beautiful. Be warned that when you arrive by car at the trail, there's only room for 3-4 cars max! If it's full you'll need to come back later. Make sure to bring extra socks and shoes as if it rained you may end up stepping in water. There's several paths around the area once you reach the main rocks by the ocean. You can take paths at your "own risk" that lead down to the water but it can be slippery.

    Great little trek round multiple pathways, amazing views out over the water. Peggy's cove lighthouse can be seen in the distance, and only a short drive away.

    When it gets too hot in the city, or inland in general, Polly Cove will get you about 8 to 10 degrees (celsius) cooler. Great views.

    I like this trail. With a short walk from the main road, you can see the beautiful coastal and rocky scenery of the atlantic ocean. A nice place to relax and witness the sunset. One of my favorite trail in NS. I suggest you drop by on this trail after your visit at Peggys Cove Lighthouse.

    Amazing scenery and ocean view. Great hiking trail. Prepare to spend 2-3 hours there. No washroom. Bring sunscreen or a hat on a sunny day. Prepare water/snack if you intend to stay longer.

    Better then expected! There are a lot of trails and two loop options. We used the free All Trails app to view the trail map and see our location via gps. We hiked in October and the low shrubs had changed red, beautiful. Photos donโ€™t capture the beauty of this place.

    Very easy hike. Great spot to sit on the coast for a nice relaxing time. There's only a few spots for cars so you should have most of the area for yourself. Enjoy!

    One of my favourite places to hike and boulder! Beautiful spot, no matter the weather.

  • 5/5 Leigh W. 8 months ago on Google
    Quick walk to the ocean. Great views of the rocky coastline and Peggy's Cove. Interesting rock formations to climb if interested. Many criss-crossing trails but it's very open so no risk of getting lost. There are a couple of small parking areas on the side of the road. Unsigned.

  • 5/5 Joshua W. 7 months ago on Google
    Great short hike to a great view from what seems like the foundation of an old building. There are some trails that go from here that lead to other parts of the cove and views of the ocean which are more steep and narrow. The trail head is accurate to Google Maps but there are no parking, just parking on the side of the road.
