In 2007, construction of the 300 m breakwater began, using a traditional armour stone design. A wooden crib at the end of the breakwater is filled with ballast rock to provide optimal protection for the harbour during low tides.

In the distance, the ferry to Saint John, New Brunswick, can be seen in the terminal, near Digby Gut.

The first of its kind on the continent, the bridge features a box girder design, assembled from precast sections craned into place. Completed in 1972, the curving structure replaced a lower, narrower single-lane crossing from 1900 that opened to allow boats through.

Margaretsville Lighthouse is a 9.7 square, tapered tower clad in white-painted shingles with a bold black horizontal daymark. Perched on a small point jutting into Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy, this coastal beacon was built in 1859 and stands as the first lighthouse to occupy the site.
