✨ Whale watching during peak migration season
🥾 Coastal hikes with the most insane views

📌 SAVE this for your Newfoundland itinerary!

Twillingate is one of the dreamiest little coastal towns I’ve ever visited and if you’re heading to Newfoundland, it needs to be on your list.

Here are some of my favorite things to do in Twillingate:

🐋 Book a whale watching tour—one swam under our boat 😭
🥾 Hike the Spillers Cove trail via French Beach for epic coastal views
📸 Stop by Prime Berth Fishery & Heritage Centre to see a real whale skeleton
🌅 End your day at Long Point Lighthouse for panoramic sunset views
🛍️ Browse local shops for handmade and one-of-a-kind finds

This town is small but so full of charm, think Ireland vibes, but in Canada 🇨🇦

Add Twillingate to your Newfoundland bucket list, you won’t regret it!

ADD THIS NEW ZEALAND HIDDEN GEM TO YOUR ITINERARY:

ADD THIS NEW ZEALAND HIDDEN GEM TO YOUR ITINERARY: 📍Tunnel Beach

We drove from Milford Sound on the west side of the South Island all the way to Tunnel Beach on the east side on the SAME DAY and IT👏🏻WAS👏🏻WORTH👏🏻IT!!!

This beach has the COOLEST secret tunnel that leads you down to the most stunning beach! And let’s just say this place is giving just the cutest little Cliffs of Moher vibes

🚨Important update: the Tunnel Beach Walk is currently closed due to large slips on the trail, but it’s expected to reopen by mid-2025!

⚠️ When it does, here’s what to know:

🚗 Drive to the parking lot at the trailhead.
🌊 Plan your visit around low tide if you want to walk through the tunnel to the beach—it’s a must!
👟Wear shoes with good traction, the trail is easy on the way down but on the way back it’s a steep uphill climb

Add this spot to your New Zealand travel list, because it’s so worth it! ✨

We weren’t expecting this on a Newfoundland coas

We weren’t expecting this on a Newfoundland coastal hike… 🐧✨

Tucked away near the charming village of Tors Cove, the La Manche Suspension Bridge Trail totally surprised us with one of the cutest puffin sightings of our trip!

We found ourselves watching hundreds of puffins floating along the shoreline — it felt like our own secret puffin paradise 🐧

🗺 Trail Name: La Manche Suspension Bridge Trail
📍 Location: Near Burnt Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador
🥾 Distance: 1.8 miles (out and back)
🕐 Time: ~1 hour
🌊 Want more? You can continue onto the East Coast Trail for even bigger views.

Even if you don’t spot puffins, this hike is so worth it for the stunning coastal scenery alone.

But if you’re lucky like us… you just might get a front-row seat to puffins doing puffin things 😍

Save this hidden gem for your next Newfoundland adventure!
