Take a ‘Randy’ down the shore on this scenic drive that follows the rugged
coastline and its surging North Atlantic waters. We’ll wind our way through the
city outskirts, making our way to the Ocean Sciences Center to visit the seasonal
touch tank, seal observatory and the finger rocks which protrude well into the
slow rolling waters of Logy Bay. At Middle Cove’s pebble beach, we’ll look for
lucky rocks and maybe abandon our shoes to dip a toe in the icy waters. In
Flatrock, the hills run so smoothly into the sea that they’re used as natural
slipways by the local fishermen. This was the perfect vantage for Pope John Paul
II who used this hillside ‘Grotto’ when he blessed the fishermen’s fleet on his last
visit. Learn about the folklore, humour, and deep-rooted culture of the
Newfoundland people along the way. In season, watch for icebergs, whales,
seabirds, and capelin.
