The Dungeon collapsed sea cave in Bonavista Newfoundland
Rocky, rugged coastlines – tens of thousands of kilometres of them – all helped to give the island of Newfoundland its nickname, The Rock. Not to mention Mother Nature’s incomparable natural wonder, the Tablelands, where the Earth has been turned inside-out to reveal geological features that should rightly be hidden deep below the Earth’s crust.
It’s no surprise, then, that Newfoundland garnered this nickname. But as unappealing as ‘The Rock’ may sound, don’t be fooled: there is incredible beauty in these huge unspoiled landscapes.
The Cape Bonavista Lighthouse
Whether you venture up the east coast, zigzagging from one outport to another along the Bonavista Peninsula, head west to Gros Morne National Park to sail into its fjord-like Western Brook Pond, or venture north to watch whales and hunt for icebergs, you’ll experience sights that will take your breath away.
No one appreciates this place more than the people who call Newfoundland and Labrador home. And no one will provide a warmer welcome to visitors who come from away to see it for themselves.
