A Hike on the Spurwink Island Path, East Coast Trail, Newfoundland

Spurwink Island Path is a challenging 17km trail near the Southern end of the ECT. While its namesake is a pretty incredible sight, it's Berry Head Arch that attracts most folks to this trail. As the maps indicate, though, reaching Berry Head Arch requires committing to the trail, as it's basically at the midpoint.
