The Kittiwake Coast, your 'vacation destination', is located on Newfoundland's North East Atlantic coast. The Kittiwake Coast expresses the true 'outport' lifestyle that our island is famous for.

Much of the Kittiwake Coast lies within 'Iceberg Alley', where every summer huge masses of ice visit our shores. When the ice moves on, many species of whales come to play and feed on silvery capelin. A visit to our coast is to experience the people and their culture, in many ways unchanged since they claimed these rocky shores as their home over 150 years ago.

Highway 1 provides access to our three themed touring routes- the 'Road to the Isles' and 'Islands Experience', the 'Road to the Shore', and the 'Road to the Beaches'. Each is a day's drive from the Highway but you can stay longer and truly enjoy the experience.

Hundreds of years of history combined with all the modern conveniences, awaits you. So come to the 'Kittiwake Coast' and hear our tales over a "cup of tea". Take a sea adventure aboard a boat tour; hike or stroll our trails for breathtaking vistas , or maybe just sit a while and watch the 'bergs' drift by. It's a perfect blend of accommodations, attractions and hospitality.

The region gets its name from an ocean-dwelling gull, the kittiwake, an intrepid explorer who seldom comes to land.
