See the light. Famed for its picturesque beauty

This classic red-and-white lighthouse is an iconic Canadian image situated within Peggy's Cove, a quaint fishing village on the eastern shore of St Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia. (There are several theories about the beacon's name, but Peggy is a common nickname for Margaret.) The first lighthouse was built here in 1868, and it was replaced by the present tower in 1915, a concrete octagon almost 50 feet high and 50 feet west of the original light. The lighthouse is one of the most photographed spots in Canada and previously housed a small post office where visitors could send postcards and letters in summer months. Very romantic.
