==Sights==
Flower's Cove is famous for thrombolites, very rare fossils which can be seen on the coast in the southern part of the town, remnants of bacteria and algae. They are about 650 million years old. The only places where thrombolites were found are Flower's Cove and Western Australia.〔Andrew Hampstead: Atlantic Canada, p. 380. Berkeley CA 2012.〕
There are three churches in Flower's Cove, the most famous and largest of which is St. Barnabas Anglican Church. It is known as ''Skin Boot Church'', as leather shoes were sold for the church fund when the church was built in the 1920s. Flower's Cove United Church is the smallest. It has a flèche instead of a spire.
Marjorie Bridge is a red-roofed bridge dating from the beginning of the 20th century.〔Andrew Hampstead: Atlantic Canada, p. 379. Berkeley CA 2012.〕 It is close to the Roman Catholic Church ''Lady of Snow'', which is more than 100 years old. The church was renovated in 2007. It is a part of ''Our Lady of Grace'' Parish in Bird Cove, which belongs to the diocese of St. George.
