Gooseberry Cove on the beautiful Cape Shore

 A cove of inner peace on Newfoundland’s Cape Shore

The beauty of the Cape Shore, in particular Gooseberry Cove Beach,  stirred Rex Murphy the CBC host and commentator to write in the Globe and Mail, October 6, 2001:

“It is a small cove, and it has a beach, which Newfoundlanders are willing to claim is a sandy beach, though the effete who have tasted Florida littoral, or the great expanses of Tofino or Hawaii, might quarrel with the description. Sand in these places is small, smooth and sultry. Gooseberry Cove’s sand is much more masculine.”

He continued:

“The going to it, (Gooseberry Cove Beach) and the coming from it, over the splendid wilfulness of the Cape Shore road itself, is the only thorough justification for the invention of the automobile that has yet been hit upon.”
