Way out East

The edge of the earth.

This historic region is home to many unique, charming communities, flanked
by sheltered bays, inlets, and coves. In fact, this area was the first place John
Cabot arrived during his 1497 New World voyage. It stretches from his
famous landing place on the Bonavista Peninsula to the French islands of
Saint-Pierre et Miquelon – accessible by a short ferry trip from Fortune.

The eastern region also lays claim to scenic driving routes and several
provincial parks where you can camp, hike, and boat. Enjoy sweeping coastal
landscapes and beautiful walking trails – some of the most impressive on the
island – that weave through land richly populated with migratory birds like
kittiwakes, gannets, great black-backed gulls, and puffins.

Throughout Trinity Bay, Random Island, and the Burin Peninsula you’re bound
to get a sense of the rich fishing culture, artistry, and history of the region.
Discover quaint English architecture and iconic fishing sheds that delicately
dot the coast. Here you can step back in time – often by experiencing
performances like the renowned New Founde Lande Trinity Pageant.
And it’s all part of the breathtaking charm and personality of the east.
