The Pouch Cove Foundation is housed in a converted school building nestled between the sea and the meadows and forests that trace its shores. It is next to the Anglican Church from whom the Foundation acquired the property.

The East Coast Trail, long a popular route for hikers and adventurers, runs through Pouch Cove, and continues north and south along the entire eastern coast of the Avalon Peninsula.

Settled in the 1800's, Pouch Cove now has a population of nearly 1,500. The town has playground areas, a Provincial Park, blueberry picking grounds, and a miles of untouched forests.

There is a convenience store nearby which sells beer and most of the products you would find in a 7/11. Further on is the post office opposite the Roman Catholic church and just at the top of the hill there is a pharmacy which houses a liquor store with a wide selection of rum and a narrow one of wine.

At the first traffic light when you drive into St. John’s from Pouch Cove there is a large shopping center with a huge Dominion supermarket and liquor store, Kent’s Building Supplies, Staples, Future Shop, Wallmart, Price Club and fast food outlets.

St. John’s has a population of 150,000 and has all the amenities that you would expect in a city of that size.

We have a list of recommendations of businesses and people that have been good to artists, from excellent restaurants (Bianca’s) to car repair (TJ’s Place), from a dentist to an oral surgeon.

We are also able to make recommendations for day trips, places to visit and people to see, all you have to do is ask.

The weather is quite unpredictable, and while Newfoundlanders think of The Rock as having a moderate maritime climate, visitors are surprised by the cool windy weather.

In the spring there are icebergs outside the windows, and during the summer, whales frequent the cove. The fall has the most consistently good weather, and in the winter, the heavy seas are a sight to behold.
