        SCENIC SIDE TRIP

        If you have a few extra days, visit Newfoundland’s south coast and take a trip
        to Burgeo. Start out on Route 480 and travel through the pristine boreal forest.
        Then turn south where the land is otherworldly in appearance, swimming with
        glacial erratics and shallow ponds. After two hours on this breathtaking drive,
        you’ll arrive in a small seaside town bordered by Sandbanks Provincial Park.
        Walk along the four sandy beaches and take in the fresh sea air while the mist
        from the ocean delicately sprinkles your face. Then, take a short ferry ride
        to Ramea Island for a truly authentic outport experience. Don’t be surprised
        if you leave with a few new stories, and a few more friends.
