Peggy's Cove is a small rural community about 25 miles from Halifax. It is officially part of the Halifax government. Fishing was the main industry until the mid 50's. Tourism is now number one. But it still has lobster fishing. The development in the town is highly restricted to preserve its' look.

Peggy's Cove looks as though it hasn't changed in the last 25 years. I painted there myself back then.
