On Friday August 16th, 2019, my wife and I continued from the Village of Rocky Harbour following Main Street up to Lobster Cove Head and the Bonne Bay Lighthouse, NFLD. On arrival, there is ample parking space in the visitor parking lot. From there, we proceeded to the red and white Lighthouse that once served to guide fishermen and to keep shipping traffic safe in the waters of Bonne Bay. Inside the lighthouse, you can examine renovated exhibits that highlighted the people and the heritage of the area. Some present audio recordings of folks’ songs, historical photos, and old lightkeepers logbooks. While in the kitchen, we met friendly Parks Canada Guides that were knitting and chatting along. Outside the lighthouse we noticed many walking trails paths that lead to photos spots. Many visitors were enjoying themselves picnicking while others were walking along the rocky shores. It is said that this Bonne Bay Lighthouse is known as the perfect spot to enjoy sunsets or even to spot whales. If you are visiting this western part of NFLD and the surrounding areas of Gros Morne National Park, Lobster Cove Head is a must to see as it provides for magnificent viewpoints for taking photos. We would recommend it to family and friends.
5. The Tablelands

Driving from Woody Point to Trout River you will come upon this special place. On the right side of the road is the typical green NL vegetation while on the left there is a reddish brown flat topped mountain barren of vegetation. The tablelands were formed hundreds of millions of years ago when the Africa plate collided with the North America plate and forced the mantle of the earth up. It is actually the remains of the ancient ocean floor. This rock lacks nutrients for plant life and is toxic to them so the look is that of a barren desert. The reddish brown color is from the rock that is high in iron and is actually rusting. Who knew. The parking lots get you close enough to take a short stroll even if you don't do the whole hike then you too can say you walked on the ocean floor.

My husband and I have been visiting Newfoundland in July for about 24 years and this is one of our stops. This twice moved traditional saltbox house built in the 1920s draws us back again and again. Going inside is like stepping back in time. With the furnishings you can imagine life in those times. Don't want to give my age away but I remember and have used some of those things. And the view and wild roses--awesome.
