About This Path:

This path features gentle shorelines, woodland, headlands, accessible beaches, and views of Renews Island. The alder growth around Bear Cove attracts migrating songbirds. Note, the fog and rain have stunted forest growth and supersaturated Renews Head. The path from Renews to Bear Cove can be wet and boggy. Rubber boots are recommended. Limited Services available in Renews and Cappahayden.
