Description:

Duncans Cove is one of the most accesable shoreline trails to metro Halifax. Follow the driveway around until you can just see the house, as you do the trail starts near a telephone pole on your right. Follow the trail down to the shore where it follows the coast for a few kilometers, this is and out and back hike, although you can make a small loop on the way back if you follow the trail to the old military structure and continue on the hill top trial back to the start. This is not a strenuous hike and can easily be done in a few hours.
