  1. Stop 1: Rising Tide Convenience, Harbour Main

    On screen: the inside of this shop became Linda's Bar, where the Penney family meet in episodes one and three. It is a convenience store on the Conception Bay Highway, and the bar was a set: there is no bar to visit. What you can see is the outside.

    Stop 2: Brigus South harbour

    On screen: the Harbour Authority building here plays the Harbour Master's Shack, where Ruth works. The Brigus Head Path of the East Coast Trail starts from the harbour.

    Stop 3: Bay Bulls harbour

    On screen: where Wade and Jerry head out at night from the marine base to harvest an iceberg. The base is a working marine facility, so the harbour is what you see.

  4. Stop 4: Ocean Sciences Centre (Memorial University)

    On screen: the marine research lab where Calvin tries to sell the iceberg fragment he caught, in the first episode. It is a working Memorial University research station at Logy Bay. There is a summer public program, with a touch tank and interpreters; check the university's own page for when that runs.

    On screen: this building plays Fisherman's Hall, where the town meets about the creature.

    Stop 6: Marine Park

    On screen: the fish farm where a fisherman first sees something wrong in the water. It is really a campground, with trails, a beach and lakes.

Before you go

These change, so we link to the people who keep them up to date.

  • MooseYear round, worst between dusk and dawn

    The province states the likelihood of injury in a moose collision is twice as high between dusk and dawn as in daytime. This is a 249 km loop before you stop anywhere, and much of it is outside the city; a loop begun late in the day finishes after dark.

  • Road conditionsYear round, matters most November–April

Questions

How far is the drive round all the Below filming locations?＋

From St. John's International Airport (YYT) through all six Avalon locations Netflix names and back: 249.2 km of driving on the OSRM driving profile, before you stop anywhere.

Which order does this page take them in?＋

Harbour Main first, then south to Brigus South, back north to Bay Bulls, through St. John's to the Ocean Sciences Centre at Logy Bay, up to Pouch Cove and Marine Park, and back to the airport. It was the shortest of the orders measured. A loop has no fixed start, so you can join it anywhere.

Why is Twillingate not on this loop?＋

The icebergs Calvin goes out after were filmed off Twillingate, on the Gander side of the island. It is a separate drive from Gander airport: see the Gander to Twillingate route.

Can I go inside the filming locations?＋

Mostly not as sets. The bar at Harbour Main was a set inside a convenience store, the Bay Bulls base is a working marine facility, and the Ocean Sciences Centre is a working research station with a summer public program. What you can see at each is the place itself.
