Top 10 Biggest (and Most Magnificent!) Landmarks in Canada (6 of 6)

10. Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, Nova Scotia

Peggy’s Cove may be tiny, but it has a way of staying with you. About an hour from Halifax, this working fishing village sits against the Atlantic in a sweep of granite, salt air, and weather-beaten charm. Its star is Peggy’s Point Lighthouse, the red-and-white beacon most visitors come to see. The current tower dates to 1915, replacing the original light first established in 1868. Nearly 15 metres tall and still active, it feels both postcard-perfect and practical. Pair it with Lunenburg for a classic Nova Scotia day.
