South to Bellevue Beach

Another well kept secret spot, Bellevue Beach was our next stop on July 26th.
After one night we decided to stay for one week. On that day we saw our first traffic light in two weeks. Fogo Island may have spoiled our Newfoundland get away experience. The bustle of traffic, with large trucks and drivers who are in a rush along with the smell of exhaust, hit us between the eyes on TCH #1. (Trans-Canada Highway)

From our RV we can see the gravel beach which is part of a sheltered bay while from an over a one kilometer long spit to the left, the sound of the waves from Trinity Bay carry across the park.

Friday July 27th we back tracked, with the truck, to Clarenville to use the internet and to shop for groceries. Along the way we took several side trips into small villages and coves.
The photo of the filleted cod drying on a flake was taken in Little Harbour. Here there was no sign of life or activity except for three people who looked surprised to see someone they did not know. This village, less than 10 km. from the Trans-Canada Highway, looked like it was in limbo.

Arnold's Cove was checked out as was the Come-by-Chance oil refinery. Arnold's cove showed the influence of steady paycheques from the refinery. The fishing village character was overpowered by a large subdivision that could have been “anywhere Ontario”.
