Truce Sound Coastal Trail and Peace Garden

Sunnyside, Trinity Bay
Avalon
 

1-km off Trans Canada Highway, this short hike takes you to an island that has figured prominently in the history of the area. The first recorded meeting between English and Beothuk took place near the island in 1612. A Peace Garden Memorial was built in the island in 2012 to commemorate this important meeting.
