Exploring the Ro​ck By Foot

Hike the Witless Bay - Mobile - Road Loop

6/19/2017

Summer has arrived and the Gout in my foot has finally subsided; time to get out and enjoy the East Coast Trail.  Last weekend we were in the usual predicament of only having one vehicle, so we decided to do a "loop" walk. The path of choice for us was from Witless Bay to Mobile (also known as Beaches path) and returning on the pavement back to our vehicle. In total, it was a great 11.4 km of walking, and the views along the many rocky beaches were fantastic. Check out the pics, elevation profile, and interactive map below.

Near the start of the hike, with a beautiful iceberg in the distance and the rugged Ragged beach.

The iceberg is slowly getting closer; this is about 1.3 km into the hike from Witless Bay.
Picture
The beach on the right is called Breaking Beach and is about 2.5 km from Witless Bay; wind speeds really picked up in this area.

Panoramic time at Breaking Beach, the larger island in the center is Gull Island and the smaller is Green Island. These are part of the Witless Bay Islands Park Reserve and are a great place to see some common Newfoundland seabirds via boat tour.

About 3.5 km into the hike.

Fantastic lookout at Mobile Point. The island in the distance is Great Island and the headland directly behind it is Cape Broyle Head, which is part of the Cape Broyle Path part of the ECT and probably the most difficult section of the ECT.
