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 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.
