A number of year's ago, Peggy's Cove hit the major news because a plane crashed here, destroying the peace of this sleepy town. Before that, few people had heard of Peggy's Cove. It's one of the hidden gems of Nova Scotia.
One of the first things that you see as you walk towards the pier is a gigantic whale bone. It just sits there like a stalwart guard protecting the island from unwanted visitors. The town is like something out of the past as if it was stuck in the quaintness of the Victorian age.
While the town invites you stroll amongst its rustic avenues, you are eventually drawn to Peggys Point and the lighthouse that sits atop the gray boulders. The waters are so blue against its white and red frame. The waves lap leisurely against the rocky shoreline.
As you stand amongst this rocky outcrop, it's hard to believe that anything so tragic ever could have happened here.
