If you are going to Twillingate, instead of staying there, I suggest staying at Evelyn's Place in Herring Neck (about 20 minutes before Twillingate). It is owned by the Saltbox Company. I am a Newfoundlander and I think that Herring Neck is one of the most beautiful places in Newfoundland. I have no affiliation with that company. It is one of my best memories when "Staycationing" just after covid. I also agree that the Skerwink trail is amazing. This ties with the Chance Cove trail, in my mind, as the most beautiful hikes in Newfoundland. Finally, when you are in St john's, visit the War Memorial and ask where the Crow's nest pub is. You will not be disappointed! Best route is to arrive via Deer Lake airport, rent a car, and work your way to St John's, flying home from there. Tourists who land in St John's normally don't get off the Avalon Peninsula and end up seeing very little of Newfoundland.
I'm surprised Fogo Island didn't make the list. Also, I recall a coastal boat voyage along the south coast in June of 1976. The cost was minimal: 3 days and 2 nights in a cabin for about $52. The voyage included a brief stop in St Pierre which was kind of illegal, I guess, because we didn't pay for a visa and were only there for 30 minutes or so before our coastal boat headed back to Fortune. There are trips along the Labrador coast as well. If you don't want to drive, I think that would be a lovely voyage. Costs have probably gone up. The trip along the south coast cost so little because it was heavily subsidized by the government because it was the only way to access the south coast. It wasn't advertised. You had to hear about it by word of mouth.
Life Along The Southern Shore I've sat amidst the pebbled sand That embrace the shores of Newfoundland; Beach rocks smoothed in endless swails, Umbrella spouts of passing whales; Burgs that shine a battle gray, Their color cast on a cloudy day; Sun that peers through clouded skies, From the sea it seems to rise; Gulls that sail the jagged shores, Crashing waves their thunderous roars; The glistening spray skyward bound, On a quiet night that melodic sound; Pitch black skies surround the moon, A million stars a lovers swoon; The wondrous smell of flowers sweet, Soft meadow grass beneath my feet; Berries found beside a trail, Fishing boats await the sail; Pea soup fog rolling in, Ports inhabited by loving kin; Fisherman's tales of long ago, Of swirling winds and blowing snow; Coniferous trees all laid down, With ice and snow a pearly gown. I'd love to live that life once more, A cherished life along the Southern Shore!
New-Found-Land, why is it that I have never heard a program or news pronounce the name properly. Newfinland is not a real place, unless your talking about the Sask town of New Finland. Also Bonavista does not have a ia at the end so it's Bon-A-Vist-A not Bon-A-Vist-Ia, and the S at the end of Gros Morne national park is pronounced so Gro-s.
@@Mordenkainen322 I doubt a robot voice would get it correct, given its human programmers likely wouldn't. Very few not from here can say it correctly without a lot of coaching.
Thank you so much for adding these corrections. It was driving me nuts too! Plus Quidi Vidi isn't pronounced that that way. Also it's not St. John's - S.
If you go to Twillinggate, 20 minutes before that is a place called Herring Neck. The Saltbox company owns renovated heritage homes around the province. In Herring Neck they have a home called Evelyn's Place. You won't regret it! It is the nicest place I have stayed at in the most beautiful part of Newfoundland. And I'm a Newfoundlander.
The scenery is great though. I remember the St John's (Sin John's) of the 1970s. There wasn't that much tourism promoted back then. In fact, there was none. The cuisine was non existent. The hiking trails were non-existent, too. Oh, well, it's nice to see young people having a good time walking these trails. 50 years ago, I probably would have enjoyed the hikes as well. The scenery for urbanites can be spectacular. Most people seem to find Newfoundland very cold this year. I like cool weather, but tuques and gloves in July? Has the climate drastically changed?

Gros Morne and Terra Nova Park are so so so beautiful.

My favorite place I’ve been too
Great video the city looks amazing to visit
Beautiful! Nice compilation; thank you!
Life Along The Southern Shore
I've sat amidst the pebbled sand
That embrace the shores of Newfoundland;
Beach rocks smoothed in endless swails,
Umbrella spouts of passing whales;
Burgs that shine a battle gray,
Their color cast on a cloudy day;
Sun that peers through clouded skies,
From the sea it seems to rise;
Gulls that sail the jagged shores,
Crashing waves their thunderous roars;
The glistening spray skyward bound,
On a quiet night that melodic sound;
Pitch black skies surround the moon,
A million stars a lovers swoon;
The wondrous smell of flowers sweet,
Soft meadow grass beneath my feet;
Berries found beside a trail,
Fishing boats await the sail;
Pea soup fog rolling in,
Ports inhabited by loving kin;
Fisherman's tales of long ago,
Of swirling winds and blowing snow;
Coniferous trees all laid down,
With ice and snow a pearly gown.
I'd love to live that life once more,
A cherished life along the Southern Shore!
The best whale watching experience in Newfoundland and my opinion is Northland discovery boat tours in St. Anthony
No Canadians were harmed in the construction of route 1.
Some fun names.
A lot of mispronounced names, too

Also it’s not qu-iddy vidy village, it’s kiddie vidi village, well I guess you can’t expect too much from a flipping robot😊
@@philipmitchelmore3974 It's sadly a real voice actor so monotoned you want to blow your brains out. A robot voice would say Newfoundland correctly.

@@philipmitchelmore3974I've heard both pronunciations by people in St John's, from St John's.
good video
any recs on best places to stay?

Newfoundland is beautiful but you can't eat the scenery😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
No one is going to talk about Town of Dildo? 🤣🤣🤣
Actually looks like a cool place though. 💯

#1 best thing: Get far, far away from New Foundland
