What to expect

Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay. The community is home to the famous Peggy's Point Lighthouse, which is one of Nova Scotia's most well-known lighthouses. Visitors can explore the village, watch the waves, and enjoy the scenic views. However, they are reminded to exercise caution at all times, as the ocean water around Peggy's Cove is dangerous, with rogue waves commonly splashing up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. The village is an active fishing community and has been designated a preservation area due to its sensitive ecosystem. Families can spend the day exploring the area, but are advised to stay on existing paths and be mindful of the dangers of the coastline

Peggy’s Cove and Halifax – May 17 and 18, 2022
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Peggy's Cove, a small seaside village. We saw the lighthouse and walked along the coast

Highlights: The lighthouse has its charm and the seaside is well-laid out, but it seemed a bit sad, maybe because of the gray weather ✨
