Peggy's Cove Lighthouse
Peggy's Cove isn't an incorporated municipality: the tourist area is instead governed by the Peggy's Cove Commission, a provincial body distinct from the Halifax Regional Municipality. Its land-use bylaw explicitly bans using a vehicle as a dwelling anywhere in the area, which effectively rules out sleeping in an RV there.

Description
The Peggy's Cove lighthouse, built in 1915, is a 15-meter tall red and white structure located on a granite rock formation. It marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is located in the fishing village of Peggy's Cove, about 50 minutes from Halifax. Please respect the area and nature, and leave no trace.
