This trail takes you through the Town of Salvage, known for historic features, historic cemeteries, heritage homes on Burden’s Point, whales, seabirds, and much more.

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE TRAIL (3km loop)

Time: approx. 2 hours including stops for photos and stories with Sandy Cove beach.

Difficulty: easy/moderate hike but not for limited mobility or those who are not avid hikers.

Hike can be extended to follow the trail from Happy Adventure through the town of Sandy Cove and onto Sandy Cove Beach.

HIGH TIDE TRAIL (3km one way)

This trail and boardwalk takes you along the beautiful coastline between Eastport beach and Northside beach with multiple smaller beaches along the way. Recommended for spectacular sunrise and sunset views. FEE: $30 per person (2-6 people).

COASTAL RIDGE TRAIL (15km one way, return transportation will need to be arranged - our hardest hike but rewarding)

Time: 6-8 hrs one way

Difficulty: considered a difficult hike due to distance, varying terrain and weather (could be hot, could be cold, could be wet, or all at once!). This trail includes rugged terrain with ocean and island views. You will cut across deep valleys, gorges, and rock crevasses and then visit the resettled communities of Barr Harbour and Smokey Hole. I helped build this trail and know every inch! More details about this exciting and challenging trip will be provided on inquiry. FEE: $150 per person, groups of 2-6, contact for a solo hike or larger group price. Ask about transportation at booking.

Please note: some hikes are challenging but still good for novices, Coastal Ridge is not one of those trails. Anyone not physically fit with proven ability to do well over long distances and varying weather should consider another hike listed above, or a guided walk listed below.
