Georges Island Lighthouse was built to guide sailors through dangerous waters. Still an important local landmark today, it's bound to have a few tales to tell about sailing adventures and tragedies.

George's Island Lighthouse is an ideal place to start out your day in Halifax. This longstanding beacon comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Halifax Citadel, Dalhousie University, and Public Gardens Park to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.
