Peggy's Cove Attractions

43km (27mi) south-west of Halifax lies Peggy's Cove, a particularly delightful little bay on the rugged Atlantic coast. Colorful houses and an old lighthouse give the pretty spot a special atmosphere. Peggy's Cove achieved sad notoriety in September 1998, when a Swissair plane crashed into the sea killing 229 people.

Peggy's Cove is generally regarded as a must see in this region and in summer this little community is largely over run with tourists.
