"Population: 40, Tourists: Oh, thousands!" Peggy's Cove Tip by Jefie
Peggy's Cove, Halifax: 4 reviews and 8 photos
Peggy's Cove might be to Nova Scotia what Tadoussac is to Quebec: a very well-known tiny village! Founded in 1811, Peggy's Cove only has a population of 40, and yet each year thousands of tourists flock to the village to admire its unique landscape and take a picture of the lighthouse, making it one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world! It is located at a very convenient distance from Halifax, which makes it a great destination for a short road trip.
Peggy's Cove also was in the news in 1998, when 229 people aboard SwissAir flight 111 perished off the coast of Peggy's Cove. A very sober and yet moving memorial was erected about 1 mile away from the village.
