Peggys Point Lighthouse, Atlantic Coast, Nova Scotia, Canada

Peggy"s Cove is a small yet captivating village on the rugged coast of Nova Scotia that offers a glimpse of life by the sea. The village"s most famous landmark is Peggy"s Point Lighthouse—also known as Peggy"s Cove Lighthouse—first established in 1868 and replaced by the current structure in 1915.
