The Peninsula

Nature provides the playground, with rugged coastline, cliffs and coves. Take time to reflect as you stroll one of our beaches and our hills and delve into the rich stories behind placenames like Jailhouse Rock, Lover’s Leap, and No Denial Rock. Walk amid bobbing boats in the harbour – as colourfully named as they are decaled. Want to hear the tale behind Rebecca’s Dream, Freedom Run, or Joyful Sound? You’ll get them from Port de Grave’s most colourful component of all – our people, with their linguistic echoes and accents of their ancient English ancestors. Come visit us. Bring a friend or two. You still won’t tip our population over 1000.

Upcoming Events

At Port de Grave, we are always cooking new and exciting events. Anybody who knows anything about the people that live on the Port de Grave Peninsula is that they’re a busy bunch. Maybe it’s all the fresh air and unobstructed views. Or perhaps it’s the lack of bureaucracy and red tape. Whatever the reason, there’s always a lot happening on the Peninsula and we’d love to see you there!

 Attractions

Your day begins at the Canon Richards Tea Room – a kind of cultural home-base for most Peninsula adventures!

Once your picnic has been lovingly packed in a locally-made breadbox, your journey will begin. Guided by a beautifully illustrated map, you can explore at your own pace while a special “NFC chip” implanted in your picnic box will bring your phone alive with the experiences of local residents, helpful histories, and a yarn or two along the way. (A “yarn” is a story or tale, for the uninitiated!)

Pick your perfect picnic spot at your leisure. Will it be the lighthouse, the harbour, Ships Cove, Hibb’s Cove, or some other spot that meets your tastes? You decide! And remember, you can purchase your own breadbox and return for a perfect afternoon on the Peninsula at any time. There is always another area to explore, another picnic spot to try out, another yarn to entertain you.
