1. Lupins in Full Bloom
Every summer, Newfoundland and Labrador fills with bright patches of purple and pink as lupins come into bloom. These wildflowers can be found along highways, coastal roads, and open fields. They are one of the first signs that summer has truly arrived.

2. Icebergs in Twillingate
Known as the Iceberg Capital of the World, Twillingate offers one of the most impressive views of icebergs drifting down from Greenland. Seeing these giants float by is something that never gets old. A boat tour brings you up close, but even from the shore, it is a sight you won’t forget.

3. Signal Hill Sunrises
Watching the sun rise from Signal Hill is something every Newfoundlander should experience at least once. As the sun comes up over St. John’s Harbour, the sky shifts through layers of orange and pink. It is the kind of moment that makes you stop and take it all in.

4. Whales at St. Vincent’s
St. Vincent’s Beach offers some of the closest shore-based whale watching you can find anywhere. In early summer, humpbacks and other species swim just off the beach, feeding and playing near the shoreline. Seeing these animals up close is a powerful reminder of how wild and beautiful this province really is.

5. Gros Morne National Park
Gros Morne is one of the province’s crown jewels. From its towering cliffs to its inland fjords, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers views you will not find anywhere else. Hiking the Tablelands or cruising through Western Brook Pond gives you a front row seat to some of the best scenery in Canada.
