• Wildlife viewing - on your walks, keep an eye out for whales, moose, foxes and a large variety of land and seabirds!
• There is a freshwater pond for swimming; the nearest beach is Northern Bay Sands, a 30 minute drive on the Baccalieu Trail
• Lots of local trouting ponds in the surrounding areas
• If the "Food Fishery" is on, we can arrange to take you out to catch your very own cod!
• If you love photography, this is the place for you! Scenic beauty abounds; take a drive around the Conception Bay or Trinity Bay shores for the day, and you will have numerous photo opportunities. In Grates Cove you will see lots of whales from shore, and when the season is right, icebergs come right by our door!
• Drop in Beyond Baccalieu's Cafe and Gift Shop; have a nice meal and a drink on our deck overlooking the cove. Watch the "goings on" at the wharf below, as the local fishermen land their catch.
• Partridgeberry and Blueberry picking in season
• And when the weather's not cooperating, just curl up on the couch and read a good book or watch a movie!
