Six Bays of Newfoundland

Cape St. Mary’s, Newfoundland

The grassy cliffs of Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve is one of the best and most accessible places in the world to see nesting seabirds, and the only one that can be approached on foot. It is one of Newfoundland's and Labrador's major seabird colonies. What makes it so spectacular, however, is that all these birds can be seen from land, as close as 32 feet away. Cape St. Mary's is also known as one of the best land-based whale watching locations in the world. You can stand on the cliffs and gaze down on whales as they lazily cruise the shoreline to search for food.
