“It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.” –Jim Rohn
Although Peggy's Cove is a very very small place and just one cute community we visited on this day, I decided it deserved its own post, because I have so many wonderful photos to share. It's famed for its picturesque and typically East-Coast profile, with houses perched along a narrow inlet and on wave-washed boulders facing the Atlantic. This unique environment has been designated a preservation area, but yet it's still an active fishing community.
It was incredibly beautiful, but unbelievably overrun with visitors. You can't tell it from the photos I have, but there must have been over a 1000 people in this small area while we were there. After exploring in the area we found a small motel along the coast just a few miles away and bus loads of visitors were still arriving well after 6:00. 
The small little fishing community of Peggy's Cove sits on the eastern shore of St. Margaret’s Bay...there is nothing between them and the tip of Spain except the Atlantic Ocean.
We stayed at a little motel called Clifty Cove. It's located in the quaint fishing village of Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia on a granite cliff overlooking St. Margaret's Bay and only 2 minutes from Peggy's Cove lighthouse. It wasn't fancy, but the location was amazing. We sat outside overlooking the bay visiting with other guests and enjoyed the sunset.
We enjoyed the best dinner of the trip so far at Shaw's Landing in West Dover. I had the lobster roll with hot butter and Stan had the pan-seared haddock. We shared a cup of their famous chowder full of haddock, shrimp, clams, scallops and lobster. We sat overlooking the harbor and the boats that delivered this fresh catch. Life just doesn't get any better.
The area around Peggy's Cove and West Dover has large rocks scattered around like a child's toy blocks.
