Less than a 10-minute drive from Oceanstone Resort, Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse (aka Peggy's Point Lighthouse) is one of Nova Scotia’s most well-known lighthouses and is considered to be the most photographed lighthouse in Canada. Located in the quaint fishing village of Peggy’s Cove along the South Shore, Peggy’s Point Lighthouse was built in 1915.

On Blair's first trip to Nova Scotia, Amelia's family took him to Peggy's Cove and he was disappointed to see that there were many people there...I guess he thought it would look like the Microsoft Office screensaver from 2005. As it is a popular tourist destination, there WILL be people there!

Please please please DO NOT go on the wet, dark rocks and do not swim. We cannot emphasize this enough. Rogue waves (unpredictable, rough waves) commonly splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. The safest way to enjoy the view is to make sure you are ALWAYS walking on dry, white rocks. We want everyone to stay safe while enjoying Amelia's beautiful home province!
