Capelin Cove

A 16 km return hike (4+ hours) along a rugged coastal trail with natural surface of compacted earth. The route passes sand and cobble beaches formed by glacial deposits and drumlin erosion, but involves a potentially tricky crossing at Marie Joseph Gut that depends on tide, season, and rainfall. Off-leash dogs allowed; no facilities.
