The following is a list of recommended geocaches located on the Avalon Peninsula.

The caches are sorted by location rather than geocache type due to their geographical dispersion.  The list contains both caches that we feel are interesting and also highlights locations popular with local geocachers and/or tourists.

Bell Island (Ferry Service required…)

• NaGeira’s Treasure (GC6EDE) – what a treasure hunt!
• Old Cemetary Cache (GC1W7G6) -very old graveyard, with some interesting headstones

Brigus

• Brigus Tunnel (GC26KPT) – Go for the Blueberry Crisp!  Brigus is such a quaint and picturesque little town, you will not regret going here

Ferryland

• Lighthouse 1 (GC37AE5) – The first in a series of caches at the Ferryland Lighthouse, be sure to stop in for a picnic during the summer season!
