Details
The trail network for Keji Seaside Adjunct is divided into 2 trails Harbour Rocks Trail & Port Joli Head Trail.

The Port Joli Head Trail branches from the Harbour Rocks Trail, crosses the extensive bog on boardwalk, passes beside small patches of forest, follows the edge of the coast to Port Joli Head and loops along the shoreline to Harbour Rocks a 8.7km hike beginning at the parking lot. The Trail follows the coastline past Isaacs Harbour, MacLeods Cove & Boyds Cove.
