First trans-Atlantic communication happened here. A challenging hike and lots of sub hikes around. Shakespear by the Sea performs a show here in the summer. Great visitors centre and cafe. Check out the Burma Road hike, halfway up the hill near the pond. Built by US Servicemen in the 1950. Also if you come in the spring, look for the eagles nest.

Drinks & Nightlife

This microbrewery is a staple in NL. The Iceberg beer in the pretty blue bottle is light and has 10,000 year old iceberg water in it! Friday nights in the summer they offer local music. You will be amazed by the tasty beer, and the setting, which is "The Gut", a fishing town that was isolated from St. John's as little as 20 years ago.
