Parsons Pond River

I can’t tell you how lucky we were to find The Turnip as a place to stay as we explored the west coast of the island. The Turnip B&B was quiet, clean and had the most delicious, fresh, homemade breakfasts - such a treat with so many meals on the road.
Our first day on this side of the island was definitely slower paced. We only had one thing to do - Western Brook Pond. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day so we couldn’t see the tops of the cliffs/mountains but it was still an amazing trip down the freshwater sound.
In addition to the boat tour we also checked out some of the sights around Rocky Harbour including the red chairs at the site of the SS Ethie shipwreck, Lobster Cove lighthouse and caught the end of a lovely sunset.Read more
