Welcome to Peggy's Cove!
Only 120 people are lucky enough to live in Peggy's Cove—a picturesque fishing village located a short drive from downtown Halifax—while the thousands of people who visit the hamlet each year can only dream of settling in this location. The area is so rich in both natural beauty and cultural heritage that it has become the most identifiable destination in Atlantic Canada. Peggy's Cove has a number of attractions that appeal to travellers, including the touching and poignant Swiss Air Flight 111 Memorial and the amazingly intricate maritime mural in William E. deGarthe Memorial Provincial Park. However, it is the famous lighthouse at Peggy's Point that remains the most recognizable symbol of this quiet hideaway. In fact, the white and red beacon of hope—which started guiding sailors in 1868—has the distinction of being one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world.Tourist Attractions
