Blue Rocks

Blue Rocks is one of the most stunning fishing villages in all of Nova Scotia.  It has been called ‘Little Peggy's Cove’ but without the crowds.

Blue Rocks is calm, quaint and simply gorgeous. This is a tiny community with a ton of charm.  You'll find this little place along the Lighthouse Route.

Blue Rocks sits on a beautiful body of water at the entrance to Lunenburg Harbour. It is very calm which ebbs and flows with the tides.A sheltered cove protects boats

This unique spot was discovered years ago by artists and photographers in search of pristine places to practice their trade. They certainly found it here.

Many fishing shacks remain along the shore which beg the attention of an artist brush or a camera.

You'll see numerous fishing shacks along the coastline at Blue Rocks. There is a maze of many islands offshore which make it a paradise of being on the water.another picturesque scene

We strolled along the rocks and couldn’t get enough of the scenery. We saw fishing boats and sailing boats offshore just waiting for their next adventure into the calm waters that surround Blue Rocks.
