World’s Best Picnic Spot: Cribbies Meadow

Not only does the Witless Bay Marine Ecological Reserve offer some of the best restaurants like The Fork, Captain’s Table, Pond House, and The Jigger, but it also has the best picnic spot in the world, and this spot is easier to get to than you think.

Ultimate Picnic spot on the East Coast Trail

When you hike the East Coast Trail Tinker’s Point Path From Whale House Guest House in Mobile to Tors Cove you end up at Cribbies Meadow, the world’s best picnic spot. On a nice day, there’s nothing better than relaxing in the meadow at Cribbies. 

Overlooking Fox Island in the Witless Bay Marine Ecological Reserve, Cribbies Meadow offers the best view of the Protected Marine Reserve from land and is an outstanding place to look for whales.

Bringing binoculars or a telescope to Cribbies Meadow will probably mean you’ll end up spending hours looking at the sheep on Fox Island and spend even more time marveling at rare seabirds that surround Ship Island and Great Island.

Cribbies Meadow is the site of a former 17th-century settlement here on the Avalon Peninsula. It’s not hard to imagine why generations of people find this place attractive.

If you want to visit Cribbies Meadow without hiking the Tinkers Point East Coast Trail Hike, it’s easy to:

  • drive to Tors Cove,
  • park at the old church, and
  • walk down the coastal pathway for 5 min.

The Meadow is just a short walk from your parking spot at the Tors Cove Church and is a gem that’s often overlooked when visiting the Ecological Reserve. Be sure to pack out whatever you pack in and look for wild cranberries and partridgeberries that grow throughout the meadow in the late summer and fall.

  1. Hello. Visited the goat press today. As well walked the trail to the Cribbes and the picnic area for pictures, walked on the beach picking up rocks, shells and seaglass. It was a lovely afternoon.
