PEGGYS COVE

The famous lighthouse, perched atop spectacular granite boulders worn smooth by the pounding waves, dominates this rugged fishing community. The raw power and beauty of nature is breathtaking, making this spot Nova Scotia’s premier tourist attraction. But be careful—the rocks are slippery and the waves are dangerous. Restaurants, craft and souvenir shops and accommodations are all available in the immediate area. Rte. 333, 44 kilometres west of Halifax.
