If there is one thing the east coast is known for, it's the scenic ocean views - and Peggy's Cove delivers in that aspect. It is a short drive from Halifax. With road construction, it took us nearly an hour to get there, but it's a nice drive.
Once you get there and get to the lighthouse, the scenes are quite breathtaking. Walking out onto the oceanfront rock is a bit of an adventure and workout, but well worth it. Just make sure you take shoes that are comfortable and have grips on the bottom for safety. And a security guard is also on hand to blow his little whistle when people get too close to the wet, slippery rocks. He's there to make sure no one falls in, which is a real danger. So, if he's blowing the whistle in your direction, he's doing it for your safety.
The one thing that really disappointed us while we were at the east coast gem were the businesses in the area. To put this as nicely as possible: They gouge visitors with unreasonably high prices for everything and anything.
We wanted to try the lobster rolls we had read so much about online before going. Tom's Lobster Shack is located steps from the lighthouse and it supposedly the place to go, so we did. What did we get? Ripped off. That's what we got. We ordered the Classic Roll with a can of pop. Those two items alone cost us more than $30 - and they wanted a tip on top of that! We figured it must be one hell of a item. What we got was an under seasoned roll that was mostly mayo. There were a few chunks of lobster meat on a sad little bun that needed a lot more toasting. The order also came with a very underwhelming amount of potato chips. For $30-plus, we expect a whole lot more. We felt very ripped off. I would suggest avoiding this shack. It's overhyped and overpriced. They know there is no competition out there, so they can charge a lot more money for what they are serving. It's disappointing and, quite frankly, insulting to be charged so much for so little and lacking in any real flavour or substance. But, as long as people like me have it on the bucketlist, they'll take full advantage.
And the gouging didn't stop there. We walked into a number of shops. We love to support local businesses and small business owners, but these people, too, are taking advantage of tourists. I wanted to buy an xmas ornament from one of them. Problem ws, they were charging more than $20 for $5 ornaments. It was little wonder very few people were actually making purchases.
It was the greed of these business owners that really put a damper on what should have been a really nice visit.

We arrived in Peggy's Cove around 8.30am for our breakfast. The Fisherman Breakfast served was fantastic - red beans, salty fish cakes. After breakfast and before bus loads arrived, we had panoramic views of the coast and the lighthouse. I felt rather surreal as we were there 1 day after Cyclone Lee landfall in Nova Scotia. The rustic charms of the fishing village brought me down memory lane.
