💡 Tips

  • Visit in late spring (May to June) for spectacular iceberg viewing right from the community's shoreline.
  • The local beach has a mix of sand and rocks; sturdy walking shoes are better than flip-flops.
  • Bring binoculars to scan Green Bay for breaching whales during the summer months.
  • Grocery options are limited locally, so it's wise to buy supplies in the larger town of Springdale before arriving.
