About Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

Peggy's Cove Lighthouse is one of Canada's most photographed landmarks, rising from a sweeping expanse of smooth granite boulders along the rugged Nova Scotia coastline. Visitors can walk right to the water's edge and feel the raw power of the Atlantic waves. Wear sturdy shoes as the rocks can be uneven and slippery.
