Chance Cove has quickly become a must-visit destination, and it’s easy to see why once you experience its stunning natural beauty.

Located about a two-hour drive from St. John’s, planning a day trip to Chance Cove is well worth the effort. The adventure begins with a serene walk along the beach, easing you into the more challenging part of the hike—a climb through dense forest. Once you reach the top, the trail skirts the coastline and offers several spectacular viewpoints that you won’t want to miss.

The path includes several spots where you can venture down steep descents into various secluded beaches and coves. These sections are equipped with ropes to assist in the climb down, making it an adventurous and rewarding experience. I highly recommend taking the opportunity to explore these off-path areas. The change in perspective—from cliff-top views to up-close with the crashing waves—is breathtaking and offers a more intimate connection with this stunning location.
