Middle Cove Beach is located about fifteen minutes from St. John\u2019s in the small town of Torbay.\u00a0 While it is not advisable that anyone swim at Middle Cove due to the frigid and rough waters, there are plenty of other things to do at the beach.<\/p>\n
There are picnic tables overlooking the spectacular view consisting of vast Atlantic Ocean and high cliffs and a walking trail is located near the beach.\u00a0 In the summer months, many people come to Middle Cove in the evenings to sit around a fire. \u00a0When the capelin are rolling, hundreds of people, equipped with nets, come to harvest the wayward fish.\u00a0 In the spring, Icebergs pass by and the look-off near the beach is the perfect place to watch this particular spring migration!<\/p>\n
Nearby, another beach, Outer Cove is nice too and the town of Torbay is home to many services including retail shops, gas stations and restaurants.\u00a0 If you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, you may be relaxing on the docks when a boat, just back from extracting water from a nearby iceberg, docks and perhaps they may allow you to fill a bottle of your own with some of the purest water on earth.<\/p>\n
