Above left is Peggy's Cove, about 20 miles [32 km.] south-west of the Capitol, Halifax. This beautiful dawn photo was shot by Rolf Hicker, a German photographer now living in B.C. Rolf's work has also been seen in National Geographic, and fine travel magazines.
Peggy's Cove is also home to the deGarthe Monument. This amazing creation, by the way, took over 10 years to complete and is almost 100 feet long. It's carved out of granite - one of the hardest stones known to man. It is a tribute to the fisher folk and their families who live in this spectacular setting. Truly an amazing sculpture, it is certainly on a par with almost any other art created by man.
Peggy's Cove is famous as a painters' and photographers' paradise, and a mecca for tourists from the four corners of the globe. One photographer was heard to say that 'It's hard to get an original shot there because it has been so photographed over the years.' Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons, Peggy's Cove hit the world's airwaves back on September 2, 1998 because of the horrific Swiss-Air Flight 111 crash into the ocean nearby. 229 on board were lost.
On the right, Mahone Bay at night. Its beauty is as majestic at this time as any other, as one looks out the harbour. We will be proud to make Mahone Bay Coast-FM's home.

We have a new section called 'Emails Received.' Nothing to do with Coast-FM's application, or for that matter, its existence, but we thought you could use a smile! Some are serious [see the one on 'binary explosives'] some are just silly or funny - none, we hope, is offensive! We are also adding what we feel are great television commercials - there aren't many these days. but we think these are exceptional. Send us your suggestions, and thanks.

Take a Nova Scotia tour, and tour through Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Chester, Bridgewater [Wow, what a beautiful slide show along the LaHave River that bisects this slightly inland town] , and surfing along Nova Scotia's Great South Coast. Many, many other videos of our special part of the world thanks to the folks at 'You Tube.' Check this one out on Mahone Bay's Oak Island - it is truly one of the world's great mysteries!

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while an optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty."
Coast FM will be as unique as the South Shore itself and dedicated to listeners currently limited to radio formats very different from ours. And also dedicated to all our seasonal visitors, past and future, who can now make the South Shore their listening paradise year 'round. Dedicated to those unique friends who have chosen to call the South Shore of Nova Scotia home over any other place in the world. And dedicated to a business clientele who long for a unique new advertising outlet which will cater to their demographic.
Our easy listening radio station combined with our website will offer an ongoing venue for the tasteful promotion of the attractions, events, people and businesses of this very special part of the world.
Go to the 'About Us' section for info on our part of the world, and how to get here. That's Mahone Bay directly to the right....and there are the famous three churches, certainly one of the most photographed scenes in all of Canada!
It has since been featured on CBC-News, The Chronicle Herald and gone across Canada on the CP Wire Services. And on December 16, 2008, there was another article - click here to read it. We want to thank Lighthouse Publishing for their fair and objective coverage of this story.
