There’s so much WELCOME TO to sea and do at PEGGY'S COVE Coastal Region Peggy's Cove Official MAP
PEGGY’S COVE VIEWING DECK
Designed by award-winning architect, Omar Gandhi, the new accessible viewing deck at Peggy’s Cove is as beautiful as it is functional. The viewing deck and railings are made of wood and steel, materials that will last and complement the rugged terrain. The deck’s rail guard is a steel knit pattern, reminiscent of a fishing net, and the layout of the deck parallels the landscape to allow the true attractions at Peggy’s Cove to remain centre stage – the lighthouse, the landscape, and the waves.

Visitors are reminded to exercise caution at all times, as the ocean around Peggy’s Cove is very dangerous. Unpredictable, rough waves often splash up over the rocks, even on calm, sunny days. Stay off the wet, dark rocks and do not swim. The safest way to enjoy the view is to make sure you are walking on dry, white rocks.
