Lark Harbour
Lark Harbour is a coastal village where cliffs meet sea, trails lead to hidden beaches, and every curve in the road reveals another postcard-perfect view. Nestled at the end of Route 450, this is a place shaped by the ocean and steeped in quiet charm. Explore Bottle Cove at sunset, hike the Governor’s Staircase, or trace Captain Cook’s steps along the coast. With campsites in the trees, wharves on the water, and trails everywhere in between, Lark Harbour is where wild beauty and west coast peace come together.
