Peggy’s Cove

Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is home to over 160 historic lighthouses, but no beacon is as photographed as the one in the vibrant fishing village of Peggy’s Cove.

Built in 1915, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse still keeps watch over surging ocean waves and working lobster boats. The lighthouse stands upon giant rocks worn smooth by the sea.

Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in the Halifax Regional Municipality, which is the site of Peggys Cove Lighthouse. The cove is famed for its picturesque and typically East-Coast profile, with houses perched along a narrow inlet and on wave-washed boulders facing the Atlantic. Although this unique environment has been designated a preservation area, it is still an active fishing community.
