Peggy's Cove

Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia is one of Canada's most famous tourist attractions. So, I was really excited to be able to go there and see the iconic lighthouse!

The famous lighthouse at Peggy's Cove had just undergone a major renovation prior to my visit. It shone bright with a fresh coat of paint and was very clean. Peggy's Cove was very busy too. At least eight tour buses pulled up at the same time as my group. I wandered around near the lighthouse taking photos and taking in the scene.

After that I wandered around the little village. There were boats and lobster traps at a little marina. Lots of little shops sold souvenirs and ice cream. The main building offers everything from sea shells, clothing, and Christmas ornaments to magnets of the famous Peggy's Cove Lighthouse. You can even mail postcards from Peggy's Cove that have a special lighthouse stamp on them.

Peggy's cove is a wonderful little village to visit, if you are ever in Nova Scotia.
