Peggy’s Cove is like a landscape on steroids. It’s an absolute gem of a place, what with its smooth rock terrain, historic lighthouse and quaint fishing village full of rustic charm and character.
We arrived very early on a sunny morning, which gave us a chance to see it before the hoards. As we explored the area, we were treated to a sweet exchange of sounds between a lovely woman playing accordion and a gentleman playing the bagpipes.
Honestly, it’s hard to wax poetic on this beautiful place with my limited ability to put words together. Luckily, this lovely poem does the job for me…
Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse by LittleMoon
She stands under blue skies, with a watchful eye,
waiting in the early dawn for visitors to pass by.
Imposing and superb in the fresh, morning air…
…calm in the bay, to which she stands tall and square.
Smooth are the rocks, worn from thousands of waves,
she has kept many sailors from cold, watery graves.
When she shines out in the night, pointing the way,
then poses for tourist cameras all through the day.
Lucky are those who see her bathed in the sun,
before the harsh storms of winter have really begun.
More scenes from the Cove
After exploring every nook and cranny around the lighthouse, we rambled down to the fishing village. Seriously, this place is ridiculous with the scenery. Loved it! We also found the best lip balm made with kelp. Buy it.
Picture perfect Peggy.

“I got the whole world…”
“… in my spirit fingers!”
Fishing village character.
Yes, this exists!
