Sleepy Cove Trail

Reviewed By stevemC636AV - Pasadena, Canada

My wife and I, along with our two golden retrievers, had a great day last week on this trail. We decided to make an afternoon of it and do Sleepy Cove to the lighthouse and add on the lighthouse to Cuckholds Cove with a loop around at the end. Sleepy Cove is a is a beautiful trail that takes you out to the coastline and leads you up to the lighthouse. Great views from many angles. Some inclines, declines and steps. Someone in moderate physical condition would have no problem with this trail. It takes you to the steps that lead up to the lighthouse. Beautiful views up there as well. If you're going to add on the trek to Cuckhold's Cover, beware, there are a lot of incline and declines. I would not rate it difficult, but not moderate ether. But the views of the bay and harbour make the full loop the best option. We took our time and it with stopping for water breaks, photos, and enjoying the scenery, it was 5 hours total, 13 klm. It was too pretty to rush. Good sneakers are a must as there are lots of places you could slip. PS: Leave your car near the trail head of Lower Head Rd. if you do the full loop, you'll end up in front of the Crows Nest Café, where you'll find awesome coffee, cookies, and brownies. And you car is 5 minutes away.

If you are looking for the friendliness of Newfoundland locals and outstanding food, this is the place to find it! The food (salmon) was served up hot & fast by cast and crew of the dinner theatre, and then we were entertained exuberantly by their talents and humour on the guitar, accordion, fiddle, banjo, tin whistle, the spoons and “Ugly Stick”! This local group communicates the passion of the people of Newfoundland with sincere songs and music perfectly to tourists who have “Come From Away!” Highly recommended!

Lighthouse to Lower Head Trail

Reviewed By epawelkiw - Twillingate, Canada

Fantastic viewing including trips up to the inside of the lighthoue and the story of the Titanic. If you are lucky enough to see a pod of whales frolicking below its a fantastic sight. Watch fishermen working in their boats in the waters below the lighthouse. Close by is the fudge and gift shop. A must visit when in Twillingate.
