Saturday we visited one of the well know tourist areas in Nova Scotia. Peggy's Cove is a functioning fishing village of 46 people. The lighthouse and granite rocks draw tons of tourists every year. It was a perfect day to be there, warm but with a breeze off the water.
Before you get to the lighthouse there is this granite monument. It is in memory of those who perished off the shores of Peggy's Cove on SwissAir flight 111 in 1998.
Entering the village of Peggy's Cove.
The famous lighthouse that once housed the only functioning post office in a lighthouse in Canada.
The granite rock landscape is quite interesting.
Unfortuntately the water is like a magnet to tourists ( and locals) . Every year people ignore the warning signs and get caught off guard and swept into the ocean. Most are rescued but some are not so lucky.
This guys was lucky. I was sure he would get swept in.
A little village on the way home.
It is such a picturesque area that I always enjoy visiting.

Oh wow, that looks so pretty, thanks for sharing! I'd love to get out that way sometime. I've been to Ontario, Montreal, Manitoba and Alberta, and lived in Saskatchewan, but never made it to either coast yet.
Wow! what a lovely picturesque place. I would love to visit there. Reminds me of a New England fishing village.
Oh Katy, you must visit the coast then :)
Joanne, it is even more beautiful in person. But, there are some amazing sights to be seen in your area too ;)
Hugs, Tammy
Beautiful pictures Tammy!! I see why you enjoy going there.
