  September 2016 Lovely day for a Lighthouse Picnic I was finally able to secure a reservation. I had emailed in early July and was told ALL the reservations for the summer were fully booked. I tried for early September on a Wednesday and was successful. The weather was cloudy driving out to Ferryland, but we were hoping for some sun. If you have a rental car you must park at the Colony of the Avalon because you will void your rental agreement if you drive closer to the lighthouse as it's a typical Newfoundland gravel road with a pothole or two or three... If you walk from the Colony of the Avalon it's approx. a 20 minutes (depending on how fit you are) If you're local you can drive all the way on the gravel road to the orange sign that says no driving beyond this point. Just park with the other cars on the grass. From this point it's only a 10 min walk to the lighthouse. The picnic consisted of a sandwich, pasta salad, honey lemonade and dessert. The food was meh. Next time I will bring my own picnic. The terrain at the lighthouse is definitely not meant if you have mobility issues. We did see whales spouting off in the distance. And the sun finally did make an appearance. We all got a little sun burned.

  A bit expensive but the food is amazing and the views are spectacular.

  Wonderful experience from beginning to end. The walk to the lighthouse was actually very relaxing. The lighthouse and entire surrounding area was serene and idyllic. Even though there were many other visitors, there was more than ample space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the tranquility. The staff brought out the food to us while we basked in the sun and enjoyed the breeze. The food was no afterthought either--the bread was fresh, the dessert was decadent, and overall it was very filling. Picnic blankets are provided; a couple tables are also available.

  Always a lovely time. Be prepared for wind, bring a coat and camera. Binoculars can be useful
