Peggy's Cove on the south shore

September 28, 2015

We arrived in Peggy's Cove, NS today which is an incredibly quaint small fishing village that seems to be the place to see.  According to the tourist information people, the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove is the most photographed lighthouse in all of Canada.  I spoke to one guy who told me the main product the fishermen catch is lobster.  Cod, he said, is no longer sought here.  All of the pictures below are from Peggy's Cove.

This first picture shows just how large the sea gulls are up here :-)  It was carved out of one chunk of tree.









The picture below is the small opening to the cove through which the fishing boats pass.


The entrance channel to the cove is directly to the left of the smaller red boat below.
















This is the "off" season, but look at the buses bringing visitors to Peggy's Cove.  I can not imagine what it would be like here in the summer.
