We visited the gift shop and all ended up leaving with something. All of their preserves and sauces made with local berries are delicious! And their collection of Newfoundland art, crafts, books and other collectables is amazing. We also took one of their boat tours as a last minute decision and were not disappointed! The gentlemen who took us out were incredibly warm and welcoming. We learned a lot about not only icebergs and birds, but the history of the area as well. We were both educated and highly entertained the entire time. We would definitely come do another tour and visit the shop again!

The Cable Station is a must see for anyone interested in trans Atlantic communications. It is an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Milestone site. The Milestone program recognizes outstanding technological developments around the world. In 1866, the Great Eastern, the biggest ship in the world at that time, landed a transatlantic cable which originated in Valentia, Ireland, Instant telegraph communications between Europe and North America were then possible. The Station is a provincial historic site with many displays of the electrical equipment used in the operation. The tour starts with a very good video of its history. The station remained in operation until 1965

I've always been interested in anthropology and archeology and this museum and site combine both. The museum has displays and exhibits on the Beothuk or red ochre people. They fashioned implements from iron nails scavangered from European fishing sites. They lived on sea birds, fish, seals, and larger animals like caribou. There are life sized statues of men and women in traditional clothes and a canoe. Outside there is a statue of the last Beothuk (a woman). 300 years ago there was a Beothuk village on this site and you can follow the trail to see the housepits but beware of the blackflies. You can also make a "memorial ornament" from bits of bark, small pinecones and natural materials all provided by the museum and tie it to trees or bushes in the Spirit Garden, a lovely peaceful place. This was a really good experience.
