  • Peggy's Cove is a small picturesque fishing village southwest of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
    The community likely got its name from Peggy, the nickname for Margaret from nearby St. Margaret's Bay. The village marks the eastern point of St. Margaret's Bay.
    A popular story claims that the name Peggy came from the only survivor of a shipwreck at Halibut Rock near the cove.
    Nova Scotia is home to over 150 lighthouses. Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, also known as Peggy's Point Lighthouse, is one of Nova Scotia’s most well-known and one of the most photographed in Canada.
    The first lighthouse at Peggy's Cove was built in 1868 and was replaced with the current lighthouse that was built in 1914 and first lit in 1915.

    Video captured Peggy's cove, the way it is lots of days in the summer months, fog shouldn't stop you from visiting this beautiful place. Yes stay safe when you visit here , stay off the black rocks. Thanks for the visit we had there together. It was great.

    Peggy Cove is really a beautiful place! There is also a memorial for the accident of a Swissair plane who crash 2.September 1998 (Flight 111) near this place! 229 pepole have dyed on this day. This is maybe the reason for the musican who play the swiss Alphorn instrument. This was really a black day for all swiss people! Thank you for sharing this place!

    • @ExploringwithWade
      @ExploringwithWade  2 роки тому

      I remember the day it happened and watched it on the news as it was going on. Very sad day. I did stop at the memorial and what a lot don't know is there is a 2nd memorial I also visited down further along the coast. There will be a video coming up on it. Good point about the man playing the horn. Makes sense that is most likely why he was there. Take care!

    Peggy's Cove is one of the most popular tourist spots in Nova Scotia. Not far from Halifax, it is worth the stop but can get extremely busy. The day was foggy but for me it actually gave it that coastal atmosphere that you can expect quite often. I hope you all enjoyed and have a wonderful day!

  • @technocrath1

    Peggy's Cove, even though it's Canada, it has the charm of a European village. the rugged beauty is so picturesque, I don't think there are words that could do it justice. This is an amazing video, your videography appears to be very professional.

    • @ExploringwithWade
      @ExploringwithWade  2 роки тому

    A very nice tour of Peggy's cove. The overcast foggy conditions kinda give the place an eerie feel although I like the charm it brings to it. This is also a stark reminder as to why there are so many light houses in that part of the world. Great content Wade👍.

      Thank you! At the time I wasn't sure but another commenter pointed out that is an alphorn and used alot in Switzerland and nearby just off the coast of Peggy's Cove there was an airplane disaster swissair 111 and there is a memorial so that makes sense. I remember the day the plane crashed back in 1998.
