The Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove

The first leg of our 4 day Nova Scotia trip started at the Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove.

It was only a 90 minute or so drive from Stanfield Airport, and you can’t really be that close and not get up close and personal with the lighthouse. Though we didn’t really get too close to it. It was pretty crowded, and I feel like it looks better from a distance. Particularly from the air.

The full drone footage is available on my YouTube Channel. Do check it out, won’t you?
