Peggy's
Cove is a quaint fishing village featured in many artist
paintings and photographs. Approximately 50 residents live
there year round. The stunning rock formations are granite
rocks estimated to be 415 million years old. These huge
boulders were picked up and deposited 10 thousand years
ago by retreating glaciers. William degarthe carved a lasting
monument to fishermen in the granite rock depicting 32 fishermen,
their wives, children and the legendary Peggy of Peggy's
Cove. Near here is the site where a monument was built in
memory of the victims of the Swiss Air crash off the coast
of Peggy's Cove.
