I was there at the end of June. I used Air Canada points to get to St. John's, Newfoundland, then flew in for a couple nights on Air St. Pierre. When I arrived it was pissing down rain but within 2 minutes of setting out from the airport to walk into town a friendly guy picked me up - he even toured me around and showed me the best bars.

Everything is very walkable and the tourism office is helpful. I did a really nice hike (there are no trees and the island is so small you'd have to be an idiot to get lost) but I was extremely lucky with the weather.

I'll try to do a blog post on it at some point and look up the names of my favourite restaurants but it's definitely a cool place if you're lucky enough to get good weather.
