Parks & Nature
So close to Crimson Cove cottage, you MUST go to Thunder Cove. Stunning sunrises and sunsets, it's a favourite of locals and out-of-towners. But it's not that well-known, so it's rarely super-busy. This really is a hidden gem of the Island. NOTE: There are no washrooms, change rooms or lifeguards.
