Feel like you are on the East Coast without leaving the prairies. You might do a double-take when you see these photos, as it isn't Peggy's Point in Nova Scotia. It is the last place you'd expect to see this because it isn't remotely close to the ocean. Instead, the super cute Cochin Lighthouse in Saskatchewan overlooks a sea of grass. One hour and forty-minutes from Saskatoon or a four and a half hours drive from Regina; you can reach this quirky attraction. It is the only lighthouse in Saskatchewan and has no ocean in sight. Editor's Choice: This 6-km Hiking Trail In Ontario Leads To Towering Caves & Breathtaking Views Built on the peak of Pirot's Hill, you'll undoubtedly want to wear flat shoes to visit. The path up is a mini staircase workout, which is much easier than Vancouver's famous Grouse Grind. To reach the lighthouse, you'll need to climb 153 steps to the top of the hill. So skip your gym session, and get a leg workout under the sunshine here instead. While the 306 steps round trip might not seem like much, they might have you burning a sweat. The path is slightly steep and uneven in places, so you'll want to go slowly. But, the view from the top is stunning and worth the effort.
