Beach
This beach is about 20-25 minute walk from the airb&b depending on how fast you walk. I’ve seen people drive down to the beach in trucks but the road is rocky and quite bumpy. I would not attempt in a car. Great sunset views.

Spirits/Wine
The Newfoundland Distillery Company
14 Conception Bay HwyI didn’t know anything about this place and a friend just posted some pics on Instagram. She said the drinks are great and they have delicious Charcuterie Boards. She sent me some pics and said she would definitely go back. I googled and it’s 26 minutes from New Harbour.

Food scene
When we visited there was live music and it was such a treat. I really enjoyed the fish tacos. Of course being a microbrewery there is lots of options for brews.
One of our guests said the mushroom pizza was very good. Update: the mushroom pizza was delish!! I’ll add the pic. And the nachos were yummy too!

Lots of baked goods. If you want to try traditional Newfoundland touton then you can buy the dough there to fry up at home. With fancy molasses, it a breakfast treat. The take out food is good. Fish and chips for me but my son loves the chicken fingers. They are huge slabs of chicken.

Activities
Beautiful hike. It takes about 2 hours (moderate to fast pace) to do this coastal hike. Easy trail to follow and the coastal view of the bay and Brigus was outstanding. Definitely some inclines and good hiking footwear recommended (not sandals or flip-flops). The numerous boats coming in and out of the harbour added entertainment to the views!! We picked blueberries on our return as did many other hikers. I now know why Brigus has a Blueberry Festival!! I will do this over.
