Grenfell cottage in St. Anthony is a beautifully restored house that Dr. Grenfell and his family lived in. A lot of the items located inside are original as this is a living museum. You can get up close and get a good look at many...MoreThanks for reviewing and recommending us.

You are best to visit this home after going to the Historical Properties main building and viewing the Grenfell exhibits. Lots of interesting period furniture, most of which belonged to the Grenfells. A beautiful sunlit porch. Interesting décor and explanations of living as a medical Mission family.

Dare Devil Trail

Reviewed By Bigrigging - Hamilton, Canada

The trail is located behind the cemetery just down from Fisherman's Point. The trail is mostly a steep stair case, I think there were 476 Steps. For those Hamiltonians that miss the old wooden Wentworth steps, this will bring back some memories. The Dare Devil factor is that the stairs aren't all that well made or maintained. There were many broken railings and the stairs were a little shaky in places. My 15 year old son loved it!

Fox Point (Fishing Point) Lighthouse

Reviewed By Potter477 - Halifax, Canada

We stopped here to stretch our legs. We got a real face full of fresh air and some really great views. It is a great place to stop to get a lay of the land.

The Jordi Bonet Murals

Reviewed By alkeni - Monterey Park, California

The lighting in the hospital was somewhat dark, but as I took pictures, I could see more in my pictures. There is a pamphet at the front desk that explains the murals. It is worthwhile to visit and there is no charge.

Fishing Point Municipal Park

Reviewed By Robert T - Victoria, Canada

We had fun here. There is a lighthouse nearby, plenty of picnic spots, trails for easy horizontal travel or a challenging vertical climb. We were too late for an iceberg show but there is plenty of vista scenes to enjoy. We made friends with a very tame 'black' fox with a white-tipped tail who popped it's head up where ever we went.

Be sure you stop in here after your excursion to the lighthouse. This shop has many various items to choose from, and all at reasonable prices. My daughter found beautiful earrings and a painted jellybean row stone she was quite happy with! And of course, excellent service :) As an added bonus, the owner has a small museum area with a wealth of information presented in an informative, interesting method. Worth the stop!

We made a brief "photo stop" here while on our Globus tour of Newfoundland and Labrador. While we did not have sufficient time to do the place justice, it was a nice spot for a stop.

Cartier's View Trail

Reviewed By EE52013 - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a walking trail within Fishing Point Park. It offers views of the Saint Anthony harbor. It's also near the other Fishing Point trails. The trail is short, taking only 30 minutes or less to walk. Its starting point is near the other Fishing Point trails if you want to walk more.

Whale Watchers Trail

Reviewed By SylRickTraveler

The trail starts in Fishing Point Park and follows along the coast so great views of the ocean. It is a short trail if you don't continue on to the Daredevil Trail, maybe 30-40 min return. There are stairs along the way.
