Blackhead Shoreline

18 October 2008

You can see Cabot Tower and Fort Amherst from this small town of Blackhead near Cape Spear. It is a beautiful place to see, and the East Coast Trail goes through here taking you to Freshwater Bay and Gunners Cove and if your into a longer hike, all the way to Fort Amherst. What a very scenic view.
