| There's enough there for a day trip, but not a whole vacation.
Most of the attraction of the area is the peculiar rock formations, and
stark landscape. THere is, of course, the famous lighthouse and the
fishing boats in an extremely tiny harbour.
Peggy's Cove is crawling with tourists during the
spring, summer & fall, especially tour buses. If you took half of the
visiting tourists there at any one time during the summer, you would
have more than double the population of the village.

| We went for 45 minutes...that was enough.
Mount Euniac was pretty neat though...nice in the springtime.

| My wife and I spent our honeymoon in the Bridgewater area back in '85.
We went to Peggy's Cove and the previous reply about spending 45
minutes there was correct. Stop, Look and Leave. The lighthouse is a
post office.
There are lots of things to see on the coast south of Peggy's Cove.
Lunenberg Fisherman's Museum, the Ovens and if you like to walk a bit,
take the ferry out to Tancook Island and wander around the island.
There is a Bed and Breakfast on the island and they run a small general
store as well.
The Ovens are down near Bridgewater and are caves dug into the cliffs
by the ocean. There are trails to follow to see them and a small, self
serve museum by the parking lot. When we went, we saw the building
with the "Museum" sign over the door, but it was dark inside. We tried
the door, it was unlocked. We went in, turned on the lights and looked
at all the displays. They have tools and stuff from when they dug out
the Ovens. After we saw everything we turned out the lights and shut
the door behind us....

| 265.4 | Thanks! | SLSTRN::MACARTHUR | | Tue Feb 13 1990 13:33 | 8 |
| Thanks, one and all, for the information. Sounds like it might be
a bit too quiet for us. Some friends rent a cabin up there, but
they like the peace and quiet. Not that we don't, but it sounds
just a little too quiet. I've always liked PEI, maybe we'll
head that way.....
Thanks again!

| 265.5 | Halifax/Dartmouth? | OASS::BURDEN_D | No! Your *other* right! | Tue Feb 13 1990 14:25 | 7 |
| Why not check out Halifax/Dartmouth? It's the biggest city in NS and
about an hour (or less) away from Peggy's Cove. There are some
campgrounds in Dartmouth (we stayed at Shubie Campground when we
attended the Dartmouth Highlands Rally last year) and there is plenty
to do in Halifax.
