French Beach Trail

Hiking Trail

The French Beach trail will take you to the edge of the earth and back again. While you watch an iceberg drift by and take in everything the panoramic view has to offer, you still can’t help but wonder what lies around the next corner. As you pass Nanny’s Hole, the pounding waves are constantly changing the sheer cliffs around you. Watch the Caplin roll as you walk along French Beach or simply sit and enjoy the view.

Spiller's Cove Trail

Hiking Trail

Along the Spiller’s Cove Hiking Trail there’s almost as much to do as there is to see. Spend some time at the beach accessed by a staircase and search for any treasures the surf has uncovered. Use the artist easel to create your next piece, finding inspiration in your everchanging surroundings. As you walk along the winding trail, stop to look for an Osprey’s nest or a Whale’s tail. And if you can’t get enough of the sea stacks and coves, you can spend the night using a camping platform.

Sandy Cove Trail

Hiking Trail

Sandy Cove Trail is one of the lesser-known trails in the system, and is a hidden gem. The trail starts with a steep climb and once at the top of the first hill, an expansive view of Twillingate Harbour awaits. As you hike down into the resettled community of Sandy Cove, you can visit the quiet beach or continue towards Burnt Island Tickle for a 270-degree view of the shoreline. When Icebergs are grounded in the Harbour, you will be presented with a very personal experience with the icy giants unlike anywhere else. Continue to walk the edge towards the east where the trail gets more rugged and the ocean views are just as amazing at each hilltop and rocky beach. Explore one of the many side trails for a unique panoramic view of the Twillingate Islands and gaze down upon the communities below. Once you reach the end of the path in Upper Jenkins Cove, you’ll want to experience it all over again.
