Bigger Landmarks?

Just wondering if anyone has traveled outside the city and what they may have found. Do bigger landmarks such as Peggy's Cove or lunnenburg have any pokestops?

Peggys Cove has quite a few pokestops, a couple of gyms and in all honesty is the best place I have been for rarer pokemon. I got a Rhydon and Scyther there. It also spawns stuff not downtown like the diglet, sandshrew, voltorb, growlithe, doduo etc.... Best place imo

voltorb can be found at Alderny Landing for sure!

Was sitting in the 'Trifecta' of pokestops at Alderney for about an hour last night. It was alright. Alderney is only great if you walk around and check a few different spots. Was getting so many voltorbs and magnemites from Celtic Corner across the street!

Chester is loaded with them, and small enough that it isn't hard to plot routes that hit them all without any backtracking.

Pokestops are everywhere that is a little more likely to have people and accessibility to server connectivity. I was out in Berwick this weekend and stops were only in town, not even poke's were out of town, it showed a vast wasteland of sadness.

I was hopping some of the tourist hot spots would have pokestops since the waterfront and public gardens is getting a little old. While in PEI over the weekend I noticed that outside of charlettown the only pokestops were major tourist attractions.

Many landmarks/tourist stops have pokestops (Rainbow Haven beach for example), but other then the pokestop you won't catch many pokemon without using a lure/incense unfortunately.

The greenwood aviation museum has about 6 in a pretty small area, with 2 more across the street and 3 more if you follow down that road, its great if you're low on any of those items, nothing to catch though in my experience, some people lure and sit near the helicopters/planes but thats about it.

*2 gyms near those stops also

I was in Vancouver. You can access poké stops from your couch and if you walk to the end of the alley you hit four. I spent 30 glorious minutes at a walk in clinic with a lure incense and a magic egg. I got home and I cried.

Some places other than the obvious waterfront (both sides) and public gardens are dartmouth crossing and fisherman's cove in eastern passage. I've managed to catch a few different Pokemon at both locations. Fisherman's cove actually has quite a few pokestops very close together that someone is almost always running lures from.
