On Sunday, May 25th, hubby Todd, dog Summer and I hiked from Petty Harbour to Motion Head and back (5.5 Km each way). This is one of the more scenic East Coast trails with just about all of the trail running along by the coastline. The smell and view of the ocean reminds me of back home, Goose Cove on the Northern Peninsula.
This hike is definitely a great hike to do with your family or a great hike to attempt if you are not in the best of shape. There is a steep hill at the onset but it's pretty much level after that. My only advice is that you take a few layers of clothing (as it may get cold by the ocean this time of year) and that you wear proper footwear. Thinking I was going for a jog, I wore shorts and sneakers only to get my legs scratched up by bushes, my feet soaking wet due to the wet trail in places and a few cuts and bruises due to slipping on the rocks. If you have hikers, I suggest that you wear them on this trail. 
You may want to also take matches and newspaper as you can light a fire just about anywhere on the beach on this trail. Hubby and Big M. often camp at Motion Head as there is fresh water and nice grounds to pitch a tent. Overall, a nice short scenic hike if that's what you're looking for. It took us 2.5 hours to walk in and back.
Next on our agenda, the Spout?
