Peggy's Cove

< -- all the sheds and homes are lovely
rugging up for the winds off the cove -- >

This is a beautiful fishing village in a preservation area. All the homes are pastel coloured and very cute. 40 odd people live here.

The lighthouse is also the post office in summer. It is built amoung domes of exfoliating granite. It had to be rebuilt once after being smashed by waves.

Swissair 111 went down here 8kms out to sea killing all 229 people.
