Lighthouse Tourist Spot Must See
The iconic Peggy's Cove Lighthouse beckons travelers by land and sea with its traditional white-and-red facade, as it marks the rugged eastern entrance to the bay. Step along the water-worn, rounded granite rocks that the beacon is built on, and watch the powerful Atlantic break heavily against them. The lighthouse represents a major stop on the region's Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. Be sure to take extra care exploring this area, as visitor can be swept off the rocks by larger waves. Don't forget your camera and capture this lighthouse, renowned for its composition.

    The day we went was rather blustery, but I'm glad we did. The rocks surrounding the lighthouse are amazing. You feel like an ant walking on them, they are so huge. The views from them are great, too. ...  more »
