Enjoy Bay Roberts This Summer!

Beach in NewfoundlnadWe love giving our guests recommendations for fun things to do while they spend time at our cottages. Thankfully, here on the Baccalieu Trail, that’s pretty easy! Especially with towns like Bay Roberts just a short trip away, there’s always something fun going on to explore.

Coming up soon in May, Bay Roberts will be hosting their popular ‘Songs, Stages and Seafood Festival,’ a great opportunity to enjoy Newfoundland culture and cuisine. They’ve got a car show coming up, too, and more. Please see all their offerings here, keeping in mind that coupled with some of our Spring Specials, a fun, family weekend away might be in your near future!

Beautiful Salmon Cove

Rural community in Newfoundland near our cottage rentalsMore proof of the glorious beauty here on the Baccalieu Trail. Here’s Salmon Cove, about a half an hour from our cottages. It’s a gorgeous spot for a day trip, winter or summer. We enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon here last week. There’s nothing quite like the Newfoundland shoreline!

Sunday Church Blogging: United Church in La Scie

I’ve been so excited about the food fishery and to have the A Wake at Last operational and at the service of our guests that I’ve been neglecting Sunday Church Blogging – but no more! Here’s Zion United Church in La Scie, part of the the most easterly conference of the United Church of Canada, and one of 5 churches in that community.

La Scie is a beautiful community on the Baie Verte Peninsula, with a long history with both the Basque and the French. ‘La Scie’ means ‘saw’ in French and refers to the jagged – and stunning – cliffs surrounding the area. I keep saying it – Newfoundland is a day trippers’ paradise (and Ocean Delight a great starting off point for those day trips!)
