Why go south when the weather cools? The shoulder season is perfect for travel, and mild temperatures and fewer crowds mean that you get more bang for your buck when you venture forth. While northern port cities are eminently appealing year-round, they're especially engaging when the leaves are changing, the light is shifting, and an anticipatory energy swells with the advent of the holiday season.
Discover our top choices for travel this fall. We'll take you to less-trod maritime cities and showcase sights and geographies you may not have considered before. Bring a jacket? Sure, come prepared. Don't let a chill in the air prevent you from taking advantage of great opportunities in upper latitudes.

Halifax, Nova ScotiaMust-See: Peggy's Cove
Legend has it that this village a short distance from Halifax was named for the lone survivor of a shipwrecked schooner in the year 1800. Margaret, or Peggy as she was nicknamed, was the survivor who would be forever immortalized by the naming of this lovely fishing village. The community houses a vintage lighthouse that dates back to 1868 and makes for ideal picture-taking. In fact, it's one of the most photographed and recognizable lighthouses in the world. A 100-seat tea room named the Sou'Wester also draws guests from all over.
