Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, also known as Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, is Nova Scotia’s most recognized lighthouse and may be the most photographed in Canada. Located in the quaint fishing village of Peggy’s Cove along the South Shore, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse was built in 1915.
Peggy’s Cove is famed for its picturesque and typically East-Coast profile, with houses perched along a narrow inlet and on wave-washed boulders facing the Atlantic Ocean. Although this unique environment has been designated a preservation area, it is still an active fishing community.
