J. T. Cheeseman Provincial Park
This park is 10 km (6 miles) from Port aux Basques and makes a good first or last stop on the island, particularly if you're on a camping trip. The area is rich in natural flora, and the shoreline is a nesting site for the piping plover. The Smokey Cape Walking Trail to Cape Ray Beach covers a rocky, barren terrain; a smaller trail leads to waterfalls on the Barachois River. A sandy, freshwater lagoon is suitable for swimming. The park has 75 campsites, including 22 with electrical service. The day-use area offers picnic tables and fireplaces.
