View of the East Coast from Fort Amherst, Fort Amherst, St. John's
Beautiful view of the East Coast in Fort Amherst. To get at this area, it is closed off now due to falling rock, so it is very dangerous. It is right on the edge of the cliff.2 July 2008

Rocky Cliffs of Fort Amherst, Fort Amherst, St. John's
This is a cliff that drops below about 90-100 feet into a channel. This view was taken from about half way down the channel. This spot should not be accessed for it now has falling rocks and is very dangerous. A very beautiful site, especially when the tide is high.2 July 2008
