SECOND PENINSULA
Second Peninsula is named for its position as the second point of land above Lunenburg on Nova Scotia's South Shore. Settled in the 1750's, the area enjoys a long history fashioned with agriculture, fishing and boat building. The Peninsula comprises a rich drumlin, bounded by the waters of Mahone Bay and the approaches to Lunenburg's Back Harbour. Pastoral countryside and sheltered coves unfold as one travels the winding road along Second Peninsula's southern shore.
