St. Johns stands proudly as the capital of Newfoundland. Its stunning waterfront is a favorite for both locals and tourists. Fort Amherst, one of the very first lighthouses built on the island, greets you as you enter the harbor and provides you with a glimpse of what you will see and do here.

The Cape Spear National Historic Site is a must for anyone who loves nature and history. Located at the furthest eastern point in North America it overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, as it has for over one hundred years. Whether you explore the ancient lighthouse, wander through the visitor’s center or walk along the trails you will love the time you spend here. The scenery on and from its shores is quite simply breathtaking so remember to pack your camera.

Although the Maritimes is known for their beautiful lighthouses, its churches are quickly becoming another symbol for the community. The Roman Catholic Basilica of St John the Baptist can be seen from miles around especially with its impressive 140-foot plus towers that stand out against the St John’s skyline. The Gower Street United Church is another example of beautiful architecture and is also worth visiting.

The T’Railway Provincial Park spreads well over 500 miles and gives you plenty of opportunities to see the beautiful nature that thrives here. Another fantastic place to enjoy St. John’s landscape is along the East Coast Trail. In addition to seeing plenty of natural beauty you will also come across lighthouses and small communities that have been abandoned, but not forgotten.

There are many wonderful restaurants for you to enjoy the fresh catch of the day and pubs for you to share the stories of the day. St. Johns provides you with opportunities to explore historic lighthouses, enjoy the ocean views, dine on delicious cuisine and be surrounded by friendly people eager to showcase their beautiful city.
