Worth stopping for
Frenchman's Cove Provincial Park
On the way to…
The ParksNL campground on this route, on a barachois beach two-thirds of the way down the peninsula — the mapped campsite sits behind the beach with Fortune Bay in front. The honest overnight for a drive this long; season and sites are ParksNL's calendar.
Stopping here adds about 5 min and 4 km to that drive (5h 28m door to door).

What the map knows
Mapped as nature reserve in OpenStreetMap.
While you're stopped here: Marystown (19.1 km away) · Grand Bank (29.3 km away)
The map last touched this element on 2013-11-25 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.
All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.
