A delightful fishing community just outside the borders of the city well worth the short drive. Do in tandem with Cape Spear. Take on a section of the East Coast Trail or simply stroll around the pier and go to Chef's Landing for a seafood dinner or tea and dessert (it gets busy so check for availability ahead of time).
