Get your bearings at Goobies Visitor Information Centre where panoramic maritime barrens begin to unfold on your journey south. Scan for rough legged hawks, osprey, bald eagles, moose and migrating woodland caribou. Watch out for erratics, strewn about by glaciers 10,000 years ago.

Feel safe and be welcomed. Witness adaptation in resettlements along Fortune and Placentia Bays where an active fishery, skilled trades, art and craft, good food and traditional meals prevail. Be charmed by children at play, clothes on the line and livyers nodding hello. Ferry to coastal paradises. Eight lighthouses keep watch as everything from dories to oil rigs make a living at sea. Another Visitor Information Centre is in Marystown, the peninsula’s commercial hub. In Burin, wind roads around high cliffs where Captain Cook spied on smugglers, illegal French fishers and privateers. Step dance along the boardwalk fortified into the shoreline, or have a cup of tea with friendly locals at any of our region’s festivals and events, including garden parties.
