Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia

Some pretty pics of Peggy’s Cove I took last Friday… who says it’s always foggy at Peggy’s Cove?!

The original lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove was built in 1868. It was a wooden house  with a beacon on the roof. It was replaced with the current concrete & steel lighthouse in 1914. There’s a small post office in the lower level of the lighthouse. During the summer months, it serves as the village post office. Each piece of mail that’s sent out receives a special cancellation mark in the shape of the lighthouse.
