Change Islands
A quiet island west of Fogo Island, reachable by the same ferry route, known for its Newfoundland pony conservation station.
The Change Islands lie between Fogo Island and the main island of Newfoundland. They consist of two main islands with fewer than 200 residents, and they preserve a traditional fishing-village landscape of colorful fishing stages, fish-drying racks, and wooden houses along narrow waterways. At the southern tip of the island, the Newfoundland Pony Conservation Station raises this endangered native breed, and in summer visitors can see the ponies and feed them. Ferries to and from Fogo Island stop at the Change Islands, so you can arrange a half-day to full-day side trip, but be sure to check the return schedule. The island has very few services, so bring your own supplies and drive yourself.
