Peggys Cove Lighthouse

Canada/Peggys Cove-Nova Scotia, Peggys Cove Lighthouse!
The classic red-and-white lighthouse is an active lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard and an iconic Canadian image.
It is situated on an extensive granite outcrop at Peggys Point, immediately south of the village and its cove. This lighthouse is one of the most-photographed structures in Atlantic Canada and one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the world.
The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse.
The first lighthouse at Peggys Cove was built in 1868 and was a wooden house with a beacon on the roof.
