Of the over 160 historic lighthouses located across the province of Nova Scotia, none is more well-known, more visited, and likely more photographed than Peggy's Point Lighthouse located in the quaint fishing village of Peggy's Cove. Built over a century ago, the lighthouse stands tall among enormous granite boulders and the crashing waves of the powerful Atlantic Ocean. Spend time exploring the scenic surroundings before making your way to the charming, active fishing village below where you'll find shops, places to dine, the William deGarthe Art Gallery, and more. A visit to Nova Scotia is not complete without a visit to Peggy's Cove.
Stay Safe on Shore: The rocky coastline and ocean water around Peggy’s Cove is dangerous. Rogue waves (unpredictable, rough waves) commonly splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. Stay off the wet, dark rocks and do not swim.

"We had a fantastic experience on the Peggy's Cove tour. Ronda was our guide and she was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and caring. She shared so many interesting facts and stories on the way that really brought the area to life. The ride was also smooth and comfortable, spacious, clean, and very comfortable bus and I believe Steve was also our experienced driver. Highly recommend this tour and Ambassatours in general for anyone visiting the area."
