My skin radiated warmth from the sun, but the heat was bled quickly by the cutting ocean wind. I was only vaguely aware of these sensations, mesmerized as I was by the incredible view. This view was best appreciated the same way as I approach a fine scotch whisky: through slowly engaging all the senses. Most obviously, I swirled the glass full of sights. The immense ocean, glittering as the waves danced in the sunlight. Turning, there was a serene lighthouse framed by the background of a brightly multicoloured fishing village. The regular murmur of the waves was only broken by all the delighted tourist voices. Everybody was prevented from having negative thoughts, I think, by the awe-inspiring environment. On the nose, the salty ocean air was carried by the wind; so much so that it left a pleasant saline taste in the mouth. With my feet firmly planted on the ancient boulders of this famous site, time slowed as I became lost, enchanted with notions of timelessness, the vastness and depth of the storied ocean, and the humbling feeling of being a lone being touched by a glimpse of heaven.

Spend as much time as you want to and click as many pictures from hundreds of angles because you don't visit Peggy's Cove every day! Getting there is easy. Just rent a car and follow the maps. Finding a parking spot is a bit of a challenge depending on what time of the day you're visiting. If you want to visit the sunset I'd suggest coming at least 2-3 hours ahead. There's lots to do and see apart from the lighthouse itself. You can take a walk around the area and admire the beautifully coloured red houses facing the ocean. There's also a beautiful church nearby and a couple of souvenir shops around. There is also a famous restaurant and another main souvenir shop attached to it where one can spend quality time and get refreshed. Washrooms are present inside the restaurant. And finally the panoramic view of the lighthouse against the Atlantic Ocean with the Sun setting is the view you can only dream of!
