On the way to…

  1. Discovery Trail →

    The top of the circle: the road up the peninsula ends at a lighthouse on the cape. From here the way home runs south down the Bonavista Bay side. It is a provincial historic site with its own season, so check with the operator whether the building is open. The cape and the view are there whatever the date.

    Stopping here adds about 0 km to that drive (305 km start to finish).
