Once called Thimble Tickle, Glover's Harbour is known the world over as the landing site of a monster - a 55' Giant Squid, the largest ever recorded. This quaint Newfoundland outport community is nestled in a harbour, along a rugged coast. During the summer months, sharks can be seen feeding in the harbour, and in the winter, seals are feeding and basking on the rocks along the shoreline.
Located at the entrance to Glover's Harbour, the Bayview Lookout Nature Trail is a must see for nature enthusiasts. It provides about an hour and a half of walking, with a breathtaking view of the town and surrounding bays and coves. This trail provides an opportunity to experience the Newfoundland boreal forest, with a good possibility of encountering wildlife along the way. The two kilometer route is a gently sloping, winding trail that ends at a lookout with some of the best scenery in the entire region. The famous Giant Squid Landing site can be seen from this viewpoint. Areas rich in Beothuck history, like Seal Cove and Badger Bay, are also part of the spectacular view.
For the history buff, come explore the mine site at Lock's Port, a mine that was in operation back in the 1800's.
