Spiller’s Cove Trail

A trail that feels like the island waking up — storm-light over sea stacks, Boreal Chickadees riding the wind, unpredictable swell, and cliffs that open into one of the most dramatic coves on the Rockcut.

4–5 km return Moderate difficulty 1.5–2.5 hours Best at storm edges

Overview

Why this trail matters

Spiller’s Cove is the signature “awakening” trail of the Rockcut. The geography forces your senses open: clifftop exposure, sudden ocean drama, birds calling ahead of weather, and the unmistakable silhouette of the Spiller’s Cove sea stacks — the landmark everyone remembers.

Randy’s field notes

“The trail is alive today. The birds are reacting before the weather changes — a handful of Boreal Chickadees chattering ahead of the front. There’s a pressure drop. Even the light feels tilted.”
