Shallow Bay Campground is wonderfully quiet. We had a nice nights sleep and awoke to a sunny morning after some light overnight rain. Parks Canada comes through again with their nicely equipped showers (9/10) and we got ourselves ready and packed to go before 10:00am. This included a quick stop to empty our tanks.
Re-joining Route 430 South we made our way through Gros Morne National Park towards Deer Lake where we stopped to re-provision and fuel up the van.
Heading East on the Trans Canada Highway, we stopped for lunch at the White Bay Restaurant. Continuing on the TCH, we arrived at the Route 410 exit that headed North into the Baie Verte Peninsula and towards our destination of La Scie. This route North is called The Dorset Trail.
La Scie (French for ‘The Saw’) probably hints at the towns forestry background. Today, fishing appears to be the primary industry with the very secluded harbour well stocked with all sizes of boats.
We are camping for a couple of nights at the Island Cove RV Park located at High Point on the North side of the harbour. The campground is small with only 9 serviced sites and about the same number of unserviced sites.
Before dinner we hiked up to the High Point Lookout for some wonderful views offshore. As a bonus there are a couple of icebergs below the cliffs.
After a later dinner we relaxed and then watched the sunset before retiring for the night.
Tomorrow is a day for relaxing and getting a few chores done.
