Not too bad of a hike down to it but I wouldnt go in because if you look closely the support beam is cracked. Too dangerous and risky. Beware ☠

Beautiful island and beautiful mine. That leads to a secret beach. Make sure you have a little torch and you can see inside clearly. Dont try to take other routes than the main road its dangerous. Great place for a short visit on the Bell island

The place is beautiful and cool but very very dangerous!! There is an optical illusion that makes the path down to the beach seem like a cliff. There arent any signs directing people on how to get there. We ended up climbing down a cliff with wet slippery rocks and could of hurt ourselfs very badly. THE PATH IS NEAR THE PARKING LOT there is a kinda dirt parking lot you want to walk towards what looks like a cliff near the cars and there is a simple dirt path to the right that allows you to walk down easy. Dont try to climb down the cliff with all the wet water and stuffThe reason for 2 missing stars ⭐ is because of the danger and lack of signs directing youThe tunnel is nice to go through and its a beautiful spot it would be 5 stars ⭐ if it wasnt for the optical illusion and confusion on how to get down there

Very interesting place, gorgeous views, little tunnel to go through. There was definitely a ghost in this tunnel. My husband went in by himself , I stayed back and watched, saw a figure in a red shirt look out the opening, then dart back in, hubby came running out, said he got the chills, I asked if he saw the person in the red shirt, he said he was alone..... very cool 😎

Its a beautiful picture place of the nature.There are beautiful cliffs and sea view. You can even see the mainland of NL in a good weather condition.This area is rocky and they are in process of weathering. Therefore, this place is bit dangerous for a solo travelers or visitors. However, if you go here with your friends and love ones, it would be one of the most rapt place you will ever visit.There are a tunnel which goes through one of the huge cliff. The height of the tunnel is not that high, so only human size or smaller organisms can go through. Depends on the season, the water from moss on the cliff wall, will drop on the entry of the tunnel. This may make the entry more slippery and dangerous. However, it will also make the emotional feelings to take a lifetime hold photographs.After you went through the tunnel, you will discover the place the is only surrounded by cliffs and the sea. Its a romantic place to take your pictures, and if the weather is nice, you can even put your foot in the sea water without your shoes or socks are on. Additionally, this is the nice place for take a social network pictures.

Breath taking views and just a short hike to get to the beautiful rocky beaches. There has been some considerable erosion and falling rocks from the surrounding cliffs over the last few years. It would be good to be mindful of this if visiting. Stay away from cliff edges and stick to the paths most traveled. Tunnel between two beaches is dark but just a short distance. Water running from cliffs makes the rocks at the entrances of the tunnel a little slippery so watch your footing.

One of my favorite spots on Bell Island.The secret beach is nice and quiet for a swim and the arch arcade should be visited at low tide as its dangerous inside.

Yes, it’s a passageway between two coves. What makes it special is that it was constructed (dynamited outby hand by former miners to connect to a more welcoming beach. The descent is for the adventurous. It’s a rustic and untouched site ; let’s keep it that way.The views of the rocky cliffs from below is both impressive and humbling.

Best place on the island. I would like to see some stairs or something so that the entrance to the cave is safer for people as the rocks get VERY slippery. The private beach is more than worth the climb down the cliff!

Take a dirt road to get there. Beautiful coastal geomorphology. So many sea caves and arches to explore. Brought friends from away to Grebes Nest around sunset and it felt like we were in Game of Thrones with the way the rock was lit. Couldnt beat the sun to also take a look in the famous mine tunnel though! For next time.

I got haunted by a ghost here. Do not look at white, tiny, ghostly hands on the pavement. And do not say anything about ghosts.

Fabulous ... well worth seeing. Two abandoned fishing coves that are connected by a man made tunnel (~ 180 ft. longonce used to help with the load/unloading of fish and supplies. Well maintained but no lighting; bring a flashlight. Steep cliffs in the surrounding area. Take extra care when walking the sloped dirt and gravel entrance path. Not recommended for persons with mobility issues.

Beautiful spot to visit when the weather is nice! There is a cute little tunnel you can walk through in the cliff and it goes to a "hidden" beach. If you have not gone, you need to go!
