Nova Scotia #Lighthouse
The Lighthouse Route Scenic Drive - Fox Point to Bridgewater
Nova Scotia Road Map Travel Guide

The Lighthouse Route follows Nova Scotia's South Shore, where the past is a part of everyday life. You'll find it along quiet country roads where ox teams still haul lumber, and coastal villages where fishermen still row wooden dories out to sea. This portion of the Lighthouse Route highway guide starts at highway #329 and follows the lighthouse route to the town of Bridgewater where it joins highway #331.
