Beach Days: Codroy Valley Provincial Park, Point Rosee and JT Cheeseman Provincial Park, Newfoundland

The final days of September were spent on the beach, soaking in the warming rays of glorious fall sunshine. It wasn’t swimming weather. It could have been, I suppose, but we opted to walk the beaches barefoot and loll about on the warm sand instead. Over the course of several days we visited three different beaches: Codroy Valley Provincial Park, Point Rosee and JT Cheeseman Provincial Park. What splendidly luxurious and relaxing days!

Codroy Valley, Newfoundland

Located in the southwest corner of Newfoundland, the Codroy Valley is made up of 15 villages, the Codroy River and the Long Range Mountains. It’s gorgeous. We soaked in the warmth of late autumn sunshine and explored this glacier valley. A hike to the top of the mountains was cut short when we ran across warm animal droppings. Yes, we were a little freaked out. It wasn’t the first time on this trip, nor would it be the last.
