Saint Lawrence
Saint Lawrence or Laurence was one of the seven deacons of the city of Rome under Pope Sixtus II who were martyred in the persecution of the Christians ordered by the Roman emperor Valerian in 258.
Getting to Saint Lawrence
St. Lawrence is 345 km by road (about 4 hr 45 min) from St. John's, which has the nearest major airport. Take the Trans-Canada Highway from St. John's to Goobies (which is a real place), and turn west onto Route 210 toward Marystown. At Marystown, continue south (not west) onto Route 220 to St. Lawrence.
Things to do
St. Lawrence Nature Walk (off Pollux Crescent). Hike in to Chambers Cove to see the location of a US naval sea tragedy in 1942. From Pollux Crescent, the first part is about 2 km over a gravel road after which you arrive at a parking area near a narrow bridge. From the bridge it is about 1 km to the ocean. After crossing the bridge, turn left onto the Bergeron Path into the Cove.
