Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

After your visit to Peggy’s Cove, we’ll take a short 10-minute scenic drive along the coastline to our next stop — the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, a peaceful and moving tribute to the 229 lives lost in the tragic 1998 crash. Set against the dramatic Atlantic backdrop, this thoughtfully designed memorial sits close to the crash site and is surrounded by nature. You’ll spend approximately 15 minutes here, walking along the quiet path to the stone monument. Your guide will share the story behind the disaster, the international recovery efforts, and the heartfelt response from local communities who provided support and compassion during that difficult time. It’s a solemn and meaningful stop that adds emotional depth and reflection to your day along Nova Scotia’s coast.
