Blow Me Down: Located off the beaten part from the main roadway, Blow Me Down, though not well known to the average tourist, has a nature beauty, from its towering headlands which flow out to Port de Graves most southern point cumulating a M'lard's Head.

It is believed that the origin of the expression "blow me down" comes from sailing jargon referring to a very strong wind that can "blow one down" suddenly. The DNLE defines the land feature that is called a "Blow me Down" as "an abrupt and isolated hill or headland rising steeply from the water and subject to sudden down-draft of wind".

At the entrance to Blow Me Down is Dans Hole also referred to over the years a Dan'els Hole, Darrels Hole and Dallons Hole.
