About St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia
St Margaret’s Bay contains numerous islands, particularly along its eastern shores. These islands were historically used by the Mi'kmaq Nation and some contain burial sites. Today the St Margaret’s Bay is a popular destination for sailing yachts and exploring the many sheltered islands by way of kayak.
The coastal barren’s of the “Peggy’s Cove Preservation Area” were created between 10,000 and 13,000 years ago during the last ice age. This unique barren landscape now contains hundreds of erratic boulders which have been deposited across the barrens and some rest gracefully on smaller rocks. Some interesting flora can be found in the barrens which include Wild Rhodora, Pitcher Plants, Sundew, Crowberries, Juniper Bush, Fiddle Head Ferns, Lady’s Slippers and Dragon’s Mouth.
