Peggy's Cove Lighthouse

This live stream looks out over the granite shoreline at Peggy's Cove, where a white lighthouse stands above the Atlantic. It suits anyone planning a visit to Nova Scotia or curious how the rocky coast looks right now.

A fishing village on bare granite

Peggy's Cove sits on the eastern shore of St. Margaret's Bay, roughly 40 kilometres southwest of Halifax. The village is known for its smooth, rounded granite outcrops that run straight down to the ocean, and for the lighthouse built on that rock. The community grew around lobster fishing, and small wooden houses still line the harbour. The landscape feels raw and open, shaped by wind, fog and the cold North Atlantic.

What the stream shows and when to watch

The camera is aimed at the lighthouse and the surrounding coast, so the view is largely defined by the sea and sky. Conditions change quickly here, and fog can roll in within minutes, so the view may be hidden at times. Early morning and late afternoon often bring softer light on the granite. Stormy days can produce large waves breaking on the rocks, which many viewers find the most striking to watch.

Planning a trip and nearby cameras

Summers are mild and the most popular season for visits, while autumn offers clear, cool days. Winters are cold and windy, and rocks can be icy, so take care on the shoreline. The village is about a 40-minute drive from Halifax, and Halifax's own camera is listed nearby, along with cameras at Burntcoat Head and Tangier further along the coast.
