Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove is a 10-minute drive north of St. John’s. Great for photography, it is one of the best areas for viewing the mighty Atlantic Ocean. In fact, this area says “ocean” in every way. And the scenery can be, simply awe-inspiring and the area has attracted a number of executive home builds.

Logy Bay is a centre for scientific research, with Memorial University’s Ocean Sciences Centre located there. The facility also houses a group of seals, and it has become a popular visitor attraction.

Middle Cove and Outer Cove were named for their locations right on the coast. The striking cliffs, waves, and exposed beaches can be seen from a number of roadside vantage points and this area impresses with its scenery. It’s also a good area to see icebergs, in late spring and early summer when ice drifts down from the Arctic.
