Just a few days after it was announced, plans for a multi-million-dollar boardwalk and viewing platform at Peggy's Cove are getting a reception as rocky as the cove itself.

Critics say there should have been more consultation and believe the proposed structure will actually ruin some of the scenery at the site.

Growing up in Truro, sisters Peggy Pippy and Laura Armstrong have always been drawn to the placeand visit as often as they can. "It's something that, once the concrete structure built on it, will never be the same again," Pippy said. "There’s around 40 people who live in Peggy's Cove, and they welcome around 700,000 visitors each year. In our work, we focused on the 40," said Jennifer Angel, the president and CEO of Develop Nova Scotia.They say parts of the structure will actually block part of the viewand there should have been more consultation.
