We drove up to Neils Harbour that is on the Cabot Trail then drove a short distance on an alternate road to New Haven. We didn't quite match up to where we drove from the west side, but the piece we missed is not on the water.
Part of todays crab catch. This harbour has a processing plant. They remove the legs, trim them, freeze them then ship the snow crab legs.
A couple of freeloaders waiting for scraps.
The lighthouse at Neils Harbour.
Neils Harbour, part of the Harbour and Part of the town. The town was lot bigger than we thought as it had a grocery store, a pharmacy and everything else a small town would need.
Green Cove is a little rocky peninsula. It's amazing that anything grows on this peninsula but there are some flowers, small trees, bushes, etc.
Ed says that this photo doesn't have any eye candy but I think it show resilience.
Black Brook Beach, again not eye candy but it's a nice sandy beach.
If you walk to the end of the beach, scramble over some rocks you are rewarded with this waterfall. The water doesn't have as much water coming over the cliff as it can.
A harbour at Ingoish. It must be the end of lobster season as they were removing the lobster traps from the boat.
We decided to do a 3.8km return hike on Middle Head .... the description is a little off as you get to a 2 mile marker a little bit off. Before you reach the end of the trail there is 2 mile marker. Doing some simple math the trail is at least 4 km long. Ed said we did about 5km. It was a well maintained trail so it was really nice to walk. Middle is were the Keltic Lodge is (a resort run by Parks Canada) and we could see the buildings at the end of yesterday's hike.

Looking at Cape Smoky from the end of today's trail. Even with binoculars we couldn't tell where the end of yesterday's trail was.
