Peggy's Cove Lighthouse Ornament
$25.20
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, built in 1868, stands as an iconic symbol of Nova Scotia. Perched on rugged cliffs, it offers breathtaking coastal views and highlights the area’s maritime heritage. Located along Nova Scotia's Lighthouse Route, Peggy's Cove is a popular fishing village renowned for its lighthouse.
Legend has it that the cove was named after Margaret, the sole survivor of a schooner wreck in 1800, known locally as "Peggy." The Peggy's Point Lighthouse marks the eastern entrance to St. Margaret's Bay. This bright red-and-white building, operated by the Canadian Coast Guard, once served as the village's Post Office during summer.
It stands on rocky terrain, making it one of Atlantic Canada's most photographed landmarks and a well-known symbol of maritime history.
