With the trade war, i will be traveling to more exotic places in Canada from now on. I hope others will do the same.

I’m a Canadian and I live in Newfoundland but jellybean has to be
My favorite place I’ve been too

If you are going to Twillingate, instead of staying there, I suggest staying at Evelyn's Place in Herring Neck (about 20 minutes before Twillingate). It is owned by the Saltbox Company. I am a Newfoundlander and I think that Herring Neck is one of the most beautiful places in Newfoundland. I have no affiliation with that company. It is one of my best memories when "Staycationing" just after covid. I also agree that the Skerwink trail is amazing. This ties with the Chance Cove trail, in my mind, as the most beautiful hikes in Newfoundland.

Finally, when you are in St john's, visit the War Memorial and ask where the Crow's nest pub is. You will not be disappointed!

Best route is to arrive via Deer Lake airport, rent a car, and work your way to St John's, flying home from there. Tourists who land in St John's normally don't get off the Avalon Peninsula and end up seeing very little of Newfoundland.

Life Along The Southern Shore

I've sat amidst the pebbled sand
That embrace the shores of Newfoundland;
Beach rocks smoothed in endless swails,
Umbrella spouts of passing whales;
Burgs that shine a battle gray,
Their color cast on a cloudy day;
Sun that peers through clouded skies,
From the sea it seems to rise;
Gulls that sail the jagged shores,
Crashing waves their thunderous roars;
The glistening spray skyward bound,
On a quiet night that melodic sound;
Pitch black skies surround the moon,
A million stars a lovers swoon;
The wondrous smell of flowers sweet,
Soft meadow grass beneath my feet;
Berries found beside a trail,
Fishing boats await the sail;
Pea soup fog rolling in,
Ports inhabited by loving kin;
Fisherman's tales of long ago,
Of swirling winds and blowing snow;
Coniferous trees all laid down,
With ice and snow a pearly gown.

I'd love to live that life once more,
A cherished life along the Southern Shore!

[Mamutsitopro]

[sergeskandala]

The best whale watching experience in Newfoundland and my opinion is Northland discovery boat tours in St. Anthony

[oogervoldclubdengomperskag]

No Canadians were harmed in the construction of route 1.

[shaneash]

Newfoundland is beautiful but you can't eat the scenery😂

[Mordenkainen]

New-Found-Land, why is it that I have never heard a program or news pronounce the name properly. Newfinland is not a real place, unless your talking about the Sask town of New Finland. Also Bonavista does not have a ia at the end so it's Bon-A-Vist-A not Bon-A-Vist-Ia, and the S at the end of Gros Morne national park is pronounced so Gro-s.

[miguelcaceres]

No one is going to talk about Town of Dildo? 🤣🤣🤣

Actually looks like a cool place though. 💯

#1 best thing: Get far, far away from New Foundland

[TassIan]

Not the most creative name for a country. ...just saying.
