Gooseberry cove is home to three hiking trails,all of which begin behind St. Alban's Anglican church.
The shortest being Jack Baker's Hill path, a moderate one kilometer trail that follows the seaside cliffs and barrens before exiting near the community's wharf.
Is a moderate three kilometer loop that takes you across a rocky tombolo beach and to the coastal headlands which includes a large sea arch.
A strenuous 7.5 km out and back trail that takes you along the coastal cliffs to West Random Head.
Most of the residents engage in the fishery for their primary source of employment, and most of those who do not must travel to the nearby town of Clarenville for work.
