Peggy’s Cove is a small (Pop. 33) rural community found on the eastern shore of St. Margaret’s Bay in Nova Scotia’s Regional Municipality. It’s where Peggy’s Point Lighthouse is found. The day we were there was a picture perfect day!
The town became famous waaaay back around WWII. Artists and photographers flocked to the small town because of the quaint buildings and fishing village. At first the town was known for the fishing industry but as the tourism overtook the economy the town embraced the tourists and welcomes each one of us as if we were family. The town and municipality have strict requirements about the land use and regulations. It keeps the property taxes from inflating for the year round residents.
Like most places, Zoom Zoom had to try a lobster roll. This one happened to be “The Mexican.” It was the special for the day. At first Dave, a fellow traveler, and Zoom Zoom shared one and later they each decided it was so delicious they each needed one of their own! Ann, Dave’s wife, also enjoyed a lobster roll. I got to document the moments!
The church, St. John’s Anglican Church, is a municipality designated heritage site.
Time for the grub! Lobster rolls…here they come! The chef only uses claw meat.
Peggy’s Point Lighthouse. If you look close enough you can see a lady playing the accordion and singing. Also, there was a gentleman playing the bagpipes a little further down from her.
St. John’s Anglican Church, they meet once a month for services.
Leaving Peggy’s Cove we found some Pitcher Plants and Orchids! It was really cool! We had to be super careful not to fall in the bog. The frog didn’t even care we were in its territory.
