Peggy's Cove
Peggy's Cove Village, population 76 - is home to the well known Peggy’s Cove Light. The quaint fishing village has miles to explore its charming character, tiny coves and galleries. Many lives have been lost in Nova Scotia to the vast unforgiving Atlantic Ocean. Please venture with caution when traveling along the slick ocean side rock. Peggy's Cove still functions as a working community in which fishing at sea in sturdy Cape Island boats still is a major source of income.
The Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse has been guiding these small boats back to the safety of the harbour for many years. Peggy's Cove is a photographer's paradise , and offers some of the worlds most spectacular views of the ocean.
On your way to the Cove, you will notice the thousand acre Peggy's Cove Preservation Area Glaciers shaped the land thousands of years ago, ancient boulders, some weighing many tons, are scattered along the coast.For those who love and respect the earth, and who wish to experience the connection between themselves and the Oneness of all Things, a quiet visit to this area is a must.
William DeGarthe displays his masterful seascape creations in Peggy’s Coves' DeGarthe Museum. William’s natural ability to capture the essence of Nova Scotia Ocean on canvas and rock is a rare talent and everyone is certain to enjoy this museum.
