The village marks the eastern point of the St. Margaret's Bay. Originally the economy of the area centered on fishing. Even though tourism began to overtake fishing in economic importance its inhabitants still fish for, mainly, lobster.
Because of its quaint scenic beauty and presence of the Peggy's Point Lighthouse, Peggy's Cove is now a major tourist attraction; but the community maintains a rustic undeveloped appearance.
