So Many Things to Do!
Go fishing with the locals, pick wild berries, eat seafood so fresh you know who caught it.
Sample the local craft beer, catch some live Irish Newfoundland music, and shop for some swag at Dildo Brewing Company & Museum in Dildo.
Take a scenic drive to Canada’s first English Colony and tour Cupids Legacy Centre . Enjoy a walk through neighbouring Brigus and explore historic sites, quaint restaurants and shops galore.
Learn about our history and the by’s that build the boats at the Wooden Boat Museum in Winterton. Step back in time to 1866 at the Heart’s Content Cable Station, the site of the first successful transatlantic cable crossing.
Shop for original Newfoundland arts and crafts, try the tasting menu at the award winning Newfoundland Distillery in Clarke’s Beach, even pet some Newfoundland Ponies at the new Heritage Park in Hopeall.
Birds, Bergs, and Boat Tours
Love natural life? We’ve got it in droves. We’re minutes away from boat tours to get up close and personal to whales, eagles, ice bergs, seabirds, stunning scenery – everything this place is known for!
And remember, Trinity Bay is a bird- and whale-watcher’s paradise – so you never know what you’re going to see while relaxing in nature’s paradise, on your own private deck.
Take a Swing
Practice your swing at Pitcher’s Pond, a nine-hole, challenging course and driving range surrounded by beautiful scenery, just minutes from our cottages right here in Whiteway.
Take a Hike
There’s so much to explore all around the cottages, so don’t forget your hiking shoes!
We have lots of great walking trails out here on the Baccalieu Coastal Drive, near the cottages. So many, indeed, that we haven’t even had a chance to explore them all!
Here are a few nearby favourites:
Heart’s Delight-Islington – Don’t forget your camera for these picture-perfect trails along Route 80, not far from the cottages.
- Western Point Hiking Trail – 1 km linear walk along ocean’s edge.
- Northern Point Hiking Trail – 3.12 km easy to moderate, return loop. Along the ocean as well.
Whiteway – The Jimmy Rowe walking trail around the pond. 35 min loop, some steepish hills, parking, picnic spots and new swimming area make this a favourite spot for locals.
Salmon Cove Beach & Hiking Trail (Beach Road, off Rte 70, Salmon Cove,
Conception Bay). The heart shaped beach of Salmon Cove offers 500 metres of fine grey sand surrounded by imposing cliffs. A 2km hiking trail and a warm water river running into the Atlantic Ocean make it a perfect spot for a picnic.
Explore the Area
Our location on the Baccalieu Coastal Drive makes us the perfect starting point to explore the idyllic charms of outport Newfoundland. Drive to Grates Cove, Bay de Verde, Dildo, Cupids or Brigus, and return by a different route, visiting each charming community along the way.
