Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada
A maritime multitasker
For a small outpost rising over a humble Atlantic cove, this lighthouse is quite the heavy lifter in the shipping world. Not only does it guide fishing vessels and lobster boats safely to the quaint Nova Scotia village of Peggy's Cove, during summer it serves as Canada's only combination lighthouse and post office. Its vigilance is rightly appreciated—sudden swells and rogue waves can make the local seas tricky to navigate, even on calm days like this. But hey, the mail (not to mention your lobster dinner) must go through!

This beacon not only provides deliverance from stormy seas, it helps deliver the mail.
