Peggy's Cove is a charming fishing village nestled along the coast and built on top of limestone rock. It's unique topography and charming homes make it a beloved stop in Nova Scotia. It's also home to the most photographed lighthouse in Canada! The lighthouse, is iconic + a must visit. But also walk around to the incredible art galleries and shops.

This town gets very busy in the summer months, with signs indicating if the parking in the area is full or not. Go early, and avoid weekends if possible.
