Located just south of St. Mary's on Route 90 of The Irish Loop, approximately 120 kilometers south of St. John's, lies the town of Gaskiers - Point La Haye. Like other communities on The Irish Loop, employment in Gaskiers - Point La Haye has traditionally been from the inshore cod fishery, however in recent years the focus has shifted towards other species such as snow crab.
A standout feature of the town is the scenic Hare Hill Trail which provides a breathtaking view of St. Mary's Bay. Here the grassy fields roll straight down to the beach and a long sandy barachois separates the salt water bay from Point La Haye Pond. With a near perfect blend of old and new world charm, the striking scenery and wide open spaces of Gaskiers - Point La Haye will make you want to stay.
