Working with Jill Curran, the charming owner of Lighthouse Picnics, was invigorating and Applecore Interactive could not wait to get out to experience this outdoor delight personally. The beautiful summer Sunday finally arrived!
A spectacular hour drive from St. John's wound through places like the Goulds, Bay Bulls, Tors Cove - all designed as an appetizer for what was waiting in Ferryland. The drive meandered along the coast, blue skies above and white caps licking on pebbled shores.
Route 10 continues to Ferryland and at the Colony of Avalon archeological site which is well marked, we turned towards the lighthouse we spotted at the point. After parking the car, the 15 minute hike on a narrow gravel road to the site was rewarded greatly.

Lighthouse Picnics
Lighthouse picnics is housed in a quaint restored building right next to the lighthouse. One the menu was a choice of 4 delicious sandwiches. We were given a little naval flag as a marker and asked to wait in the vicinity - our food would find us. All around the site picnickers with food baskets and blankets dotted the slopes overlooking the ocean.
Our basket arrived and we followed the trails in search of the perfect spot. Seafood salad sandwich with smoked salmon and avocado; curry chicken and mango salad sandwich; chocolate ganache cake; ginger cake and vanilla sauce, orzo salad and a mason jar with home made lemonade. Drooling yet?

Was Canadian Living wrong to name this the number one spot to picnic in Canada? We think not!
And if you plan your picnic on the slopes, start by checking Lighthouse Picnics in Ferryland on the web.
