Peggy's Cove

About 45 minutes from Halifax is Peggy's Cove, a small fishing village in the south-central portion of Nova Scotia.  This village, with a population of around 60, has at the very end of it one of the most photographed spots in North America, with their lighthouse on a series of boulders.

It's a gorgeous site to see, and we'd recommend anyone who is in the area to make the trip.  However, it does get filled with tourists, so if you'd like to enjoy it without 100 other people there at the same time, plan an early morning trip.

There is ample parking here, along with a large gift shop and restaurant next to the parking lot.
