The stony beach at St Vincent's is raw even by Newfoundland standards. It's also a brilliant spot to engage in a bit of whale-watching (your best bet is throughout summer), and all without having to board a boat. The paved path means that whale-watching here is wheelchair accessible. Even if there aren't whales around, this is a beautiful cove that's photogenic on its own merits.
