Six Bays of Newfoundland

Port aux Basques and Codroy, NF

Known as the Gateway to Newfoundland, Port Aux Basques has a rich history; this was a fishing station for the French, Portuguese and Basques as early as the 16th century. More than just a relay station for the ferry, it has both traditional architectural beauty and natural wonders. Nearby in the Codroy Valley, the Grand Codroy River plays host to the greatest variety of birds in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Thousands of migratory birds make the area their home during the spring and fall migration period.
