Peggy's Cove is a tiny fishing village, with a population of about 40, but it's one of the top tourist destinations in all of the Maritimes. There's two huge parking lots - one with a Visitor Centre just as the road enters the village, and another beside the Gift Shop and restaurant up at the lighthouse.
After having walked through the entire village, and taken lots of photos in the fog, we moved the RV to the Visitor Centre parking lot and made breakfast. During breakfast, the sun burned through the fog, and the busloads of tourists started to arrive. Most people go inside the gift shop and restaurant, some go to the lighthouse, and a handful walk through the village. I wasn't going to retake all my photos, since I don't like to take photos of my dolls in full sun unless I can avoid it, but I did want some with the lighthouse, since I'd not taken any earlier, because, being white, it's more or less invisible in the fog. So, I chose a couple of dolls - Leona and the two little ones - took off their sweaters, as it had gotten considerably warmer, and out we went again.....

The bay, with the entrance to the Cove....
It's amazing how different the place looks on a bright sunny day, so I took a few more scenic shots.
Local fishermen were towing in the dinghies that are anchored in the middle of the harbour to complete the whole 'quaint, picturesque look'...

In the harbour, at low tide....
It's still an actual working fishing village, and fishermen were busy unloading their morning catch
Piles of lobster traps...
Row of fishing boats....
And, the classic shot with the red fishing shed....
