Peggy's Cove

We are once more in Glen Margret near Peggy's Cove and camped at Wayside Camping. I am once again amazed by the beauty of the place and the fantastic view. This is what we see when we look out our front window!


Just up the road from where we are staying was this fantastic house / museum. Although the museum was closed the building was a true work of art. How many hours must have gone into this pain job.

Peggy's Cove is supposedly one of the most photographed places in Canada and I was snapping just like the rest of the gang. This picturesque village was supposed to have gotten its name from a young girl who got shipwrecked on the rocks while on route to Halifax. From then onward the villagers began referring to her as Peggy of the cove.
While the boats are harboured safely in the calm cove the sea displayed its strength and fury just outside the protected cove






You see many signs warning people to stay off the rocks but as you can see the signs often go ignored. It is no wonder there have been several deaths due to carelessness.
