The Harbourwalk boardwalk is not straight by any means. There are a lot of turns and bends in the walk. Sometimes we just skipped by them and cut through a gravel road or parking lot. If we weren’t in some Caribbean heat, we might’ve followed the boards all around.
All along the boardwalk there are dolphin sculptures painted with different murals. Each dolphin is sponsored by a different person/organization, and each has its own artist. The dolphins were part of the Canadian Navy centennial celebration.
There was even a Family Guy dolphin!
In addition to the dolphins, there were other statues, plaques, and memorials along the walk. All together they made for a very nice walk. If you don’t mind walking and you’re looking to go somewhere along the water, I recommend walking over taking FRED. The walk is easy (very flat), and there’s a lot to see along the way.
The CSS Acadia is located along the Harbourwalk. The Acadia was part of the Canadian Navy, and is now a historic museum ship as part of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
There are also some places to eat along the Harbourwalk. One stall was selling half-pound sausages and other barbecue foods. There were a couple ice cream stalls too. Some restaurants, including Murphy’s, are close by.
Let’s not forget about Cow’s ice cream! According to my parents, we stopped here when we cruised here back in 2001 or 2002. I don’t remember that though.
On the way back we’d get some ice cream from Cow’s. More on that later.
But for now, our destination is in sight!
