Stop 30, JT Cheeseman Provincial Park


This was just a convenient stopping point near the Port aux Basques ferry terminal.  We had learned that given the poor roads and lower speed limits, that you just can't cover as much mileage in NL as you might somewhere else.  But part of this park is a beach and we found it to be a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy an evening and a morning.

Anyway, here are some photos of the beach.
