Things to Do in St. John's Newfoundland
Many guests say they need about a week to fully explore the
City of St. John's and to take day tours to the numerous
communities along the Southern Shore of Newfoundland and
Labrador and the Conception Bay areas of the Avalon Peninsula.
Cape Spear is the most easterly point in North America and is
conveniently accessible from our Bed and Breakfast by either
rental car, or by a short boat ride from the Harbor of St.
John's. Newfoundland is the best
place to see an Arctic iceberg drift offshore. Enjoy some of
the best boat tours into the North Atlantic and view the
largest North American colony, of Atlantic Puffins at the
"Witless Bay Ecological Reserve". The French Islands of St.
Pierre and Miquelon, off the South Coast of the Newfoundland
and Labrador, are accessible by scheduled flights from "St.
John's International Airport" as well as by commute to "Fortune
harbour Newfoundland Canada" on the "Burin Peninsula" and then
by ferry to "St. Pierre". For those who are interested in
genealogy, the Provincial Archives are an extremely valuable
source of information. There are several ways of finding out
how to access the information you are looking for at "The
Rooms". It is the place where it all comes together our history,
heritage and artistic expression. The Rooms unites the
Provincial Museum, the Provincial Art Gallery and the
Provincial Archives under one roof. The
Rooms is a portal to the many stories our province of
Newfoundland has to tell. Archaeological investigations in the
1960's at L'Anse Aux Meadows in Newfoundland discovered proof
of an early 11th century AD Norse settlement. This Viking
outpost in Canada was likely the first contact point with
North American natives called "Skraelings". In latter years,
it is probably more prominent as the setting for "The Shipping
News". Western Brook Pond, located in "Gross-Morne" National
Park, is also in that area and is simply incredible.
