See Canada's Most Famous Lighthouse on Our Atlantic Canada Tour
Have you ever seen pictures of a red and white lighthouse sitting on big gray rocks by the ocean? That's Peggy's Cove, and it's one of the most beautiful places in Canada!
Our 7-day Atlantic Canada bus tours take you to this amazing spot. You'll get to see the famous lighthouse, walk on ocean rocks, and visit a real fishing village where people have lived for over 100 years.
Why Is Peggy's Cove So Special?
Peggy's Cove has Canada's most photographed lighthouse. People from around the world come to take pictures here! The lighthouse was built in 1915 and still stands tall on Peggy's Point.
But there's more than just the lighthouse. This is a real place where families live and fishermen catch lobster every day. Small colorful houses sit right on huge rocks facing the Atlantic Ocean. It looks like a postcard!
What You'll Do at Peggy's Cove
When our bus tours from Toronto arrive at Peggy's Cove, you'll have time to explore. Here's what you can do:
- Take lots of photos of the famous red and white lighthouse
- Climb on the big smooth rocks (but stay safe!)
- Watch the ocean waves crash against the shore
- Visit the gift shop for souvenirs
- Have a picnic lunch at the outdoor tables
- See real fishing boats in the harbor
The village is only about one hour from Halifax, so it's easy to visit on our East coast bus tours.
Important Safety Tips for Your Visit
The ocean at Peggy's Cove can be dangerous, even when it looks calm. Big surprise waves called "rogue waves" can come without warning. These waves can splash over the rocks even on sunny days!
Here's how to stay safe:
- Only walk on dry, white-colored rocks
- Never stand on wet or dark rocks
- Don't go swimming in the ocean
- Watch children carefully
- Stay on marked paths to protect the plants and animals
Our tour guides will show you the safe places to walk and take pictures.
A Protected Natural Area
Peggy's Cove is a special protected place. The land has delicate plants and animals that need our help to stay healthy. When you visit, please walk only on the marked trails. This keeps the natural habitat safe.
Remember, real families live here year-round. Many families have lived in these houses for many generations. Please respect their homes and privacy.
