Petty Harbour
Petty Harbour–Maddox Cove
A traditional fishing village 20 minutes south of the city, where you can touch marine life in a small aquarium or fly across a gorge on a zipline.
Petty Harbour is one of the most photogenic fishing villages on the Avalon Peninsula, with colorful fishing sheds around the harbor. Films such as Grown Up Movie Star have been shot here. In summer, the Petty Harbour Mini Aquarium offers a touch tank where visitors can get up close to local marine life, which is released back into the sea afterward. One of North America's largest zipline parks is also located here. The East Coast Trail's Petty Harbour to Spear Point section also starts from this village.
