The Halifax Citadel has been commemorated as a nationally significant
symbol of Halifax's role as a principal naval station in the British
Empire and of the city's importance to Canada's development and evolution
from colony to nation. The Halifax Citadel was formally recognized as
a significant symbol of Canadian nationhood when it was designated as
a National Historic Site in 1951.
Bob MacLintock's Tour by Taxi

Not even a twenty-minute drive out of the city and you can find yourself
on one of the most incredible beaches in Nova Scotia. Look out from the
beach and see the lighthouse at Sambro Island - the second oldest in
North America. From there we follow the shore road along the harbor detouring
off for some breathtaking views. Maybe a sail boat, maybe a naval vessel,
maybe even a whale.
