Peggy's Cove - Nova Scotia

Postcard

Peggy’s Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margaret’s Bay in Nova Scotia.

According to legend, Peggy's Cove was named after the only survivor of a schooner that ran aground and sank in 1800... a woman named Margaret. Local folk called her "Peggy" and her home came to be known as Peggy's Cove. The original lighthouse was built in 1868.
