This modern navigational aid is located in McNabs Island. Once you've done all you can at Maugher Beach Lighthouse, pay a visit to nearby Halifax Citadel, Dalhousie University, and Public Gardens Park.

8.2/10 Very Good! (631 reviews)

This is a nice little motel. It is reasonable, clean and the staff are great, especially, Mike, who cooks great bacon and eggs! The pool is clean and the place is quiet. We stayed for three nights while we toured the area, and would highly recommend a stay at the Mermaid Inn.
