This classic red-and-white beacon has guided mariners since 1868 and stands on a granite outcrop at Peggy’s Point, near the village of Peggy’s Cove. As a symbol of resilience and guidance, the lighthouse has withstood the relentless pounding of the Atlantic waves for well over a century, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. Around the lighthouse, the area is famously scenic with its distinctive smooth rock formations and wild Atlantic waters, making it a favorite spot for visitors and artists alike.
