Peggy's Cove

Peggy's Cove

Peggy's Cove  is one of those destinations every Nova Scotia visitor has probably already heard of, and already made plans to visit, but for those who might not know of this little jewel, this post is for you.
Peggy's Cove is a small ocean side village about 45 km south west of Halifax. It has a beautifully rocky landscape hugging the Atlantic Ocean. There are several homes and businesses dotting the rocky coastline, including art galleries, ice cream parlors, gift shops, Bed and Breakfasts and more. The most iconic structure is the famous Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. In and around the lighthouse is a gift shop, restaurant, and post office.
The view is spectacular, and it is fun to walk along the rocky shore - but caution must be exercised as the rocks can be treacherous, and one false move and you may slip into the ocean.

While on a trip to Peggy's Cove, don't forget to honor those who perished in the Swissair Flight 111 plane disaster, and those who worked at rescue and recovery operations.
