Peggy's Cove, Fishing village and natural bay in Halifax region, Canada
The granite rocks surrounding Peggy's Cove create natural formations that extend into St Margaret's Bay, where fishing boats dock near the lighthouse.
European settlers established Peggy's Cove in 1811, building a community that relied on fishing activities and maritime trade in Nova Scotia.
Local artists and craftspeople maintain studios throughout the village, creating maritime-themed artwork and handmade items that reflect the coastal heritage.
The village offers several seafood restaurants, parking facilities, and walking paths that allow visitors to explore the coastal area safely.
The lighthouse functions as an active post office during summer months, where visitors can send mail with a special Peggy's Cove postmark.
