Rural Living On St. Margarets Bay - Peggy’s Cove, Halifax

Nova Scotia’s popular tourist attractions are lighthouses (over 150 of them) and fishing villages. The 206-year-old Peggy’s Cove draws many visitors each year because you can visit both a picturesque fishing village rich in history and adventure and a lighthouse. And another bonus for some, is that town and the lighthouse are just a short walk from your parked car. Although this is a unique area has been designated a preservation area, it still has an active, vibrant fishing community.

Here is what caught my eye, I hope you enjoy it!
