Some things to do & places to go in Portugal Cove-St. Philips:
- Take in the breathtaking panoramic view of Conception Bay as you stroll along the walking path through the grassy cliffs along the rugged seashore that leads to St. Philips salt water beach & marina, 1/2 KM away. Here you can stop to enjoy a great "scoff" (meal) of some of the best fish and chips on the Avalon at By the Beach Restaurant while taking in the ocean view and fragrance of the clean ocean air. Relax after your meal with a little stroll along the waters edge.
- Launch your boat and/or sea doo or scuba dive, sea kayak, etc. from St. Philips Marina - 1/2 KM away. (Sorry, we do not supply water crafts or equipment).
- Take a Parasail ride offered at St. Philips Marina during the summer season.
