The Boreal Gardens are worth a visit to see the greenhouses and gardens growing local produce and plants. You can book a tour on Sundays in July and August and other times by appointment only.
St Paul’s Anglican Church is the oldest still in use and is a designated historical site.
Just out of town, you can see the MV Ithaca shipwreck, which is visible during low tide but engulfed in water during high tide. It’s not safe to go aboard, but you can walk close to the awe-inspiring vessel when the tide is out. The wreck of a freight plane called Miss Piggy is another interesting place to grab a few photos. The plane crashed in the last 70s and has been a point of interest ever since.
There are an Eskimo museum and Cape Merry’s landmark to keep you busy and don’t forget to spend some time chatting with the locals. They welcome visitors and have amazing stories to tell.
