Beyond the Lighthouse: Unique Things To Do at Peggy’s Cove

While Peggy’s Cove is best known for its historic lighthouse, there’s plenty more to explore once you’re there. Just a short visit away is the Swissair Flight 111 Memorial, a quiet tribute to the lives lost in one of Canada’s most tragic aviation accidents.

History lovers will enjoy St. John’s Anglican Church, an elegant Gothic Revival building dating back to 1893. Its serene atmosphere and beautiful artwork make it a peaceful stop amid coastal touring.

Of course, food lovers won’t want to miss the local seafood. Fresh lobster, classic Nova Scotia fish dishes, and handcrafted ice cream from local shops are a delicious way to round out your visit.
