Peggy's Cove lighthouse

The Legend of Peggy's Cove

Browse the latest Peggy's Cove real estate listings below! Many a story has been told about how the little area where the lone lighthouse stands received its name. Some say it was an early settler that named it after his mother Marguerite, aka Peggy; others say its named for the lone survivor of a long ago shipwreck that married one of the boys from the cove in 1800. No matter the story, what intrigues us most is the place itself.


Peggy's Cove Homes for Sale

Peggy's Cove Community

Peggy’s cove is a mere 43 km from downtown Halifax that is accessible by a beautiful picturesque 2 lane highway. Many little homes in this lovely operational fishing village are located directly below the lighthouse with little homes and B & B right on the site. It is well known as a tourist attraction so be prepared to have a large influx of people going in and out of the village. A commercial aspect is also evident with small gift shops and restaurants very close by.

Lots of walking trails and places to sit on the rock and watch the current of the ocean take your mind off of the activities of the world. This area is a little off the beaten path when it comes to getting to amenities but well worth a look. The residents that live in this area seldom leave and for generations have kept the homesteads that make up this beautiful hamlet. Take a look you will not be disappointed.
