Awesome views! Good trails and beautiful lighthouses! Icebergs are a common sight the spring of the year,some years are better then others.
The best time to visit is during the summer months. There is lots of walking to see everything. The lighthouse is located on a high cape overlooking the ocean. The view is awesome. Many walking trails and there is some bunkers to see ,which were used during the war. Depending on the time of year, wild blueberries grow free.
Great view of the Atlantic Ocean in top of cliff; there are bunker and cannon from the War period, but location seems not to be taken care by authorities; lighthouse in a conserved wooden building, but nothing extraordinary.
Beautiful place to visit. Amazing for photographs. Historic site is interesting! I am so happy to have visited with my fantastic tour guides!
Loved the view and the history. The guides are very friendly and helpful. Be sure to bring your walking shoes and camera. We saw lots of sea birds diving into the ocean as well.
We were visiting St John's and the weather was cold with some snow, this is what we came for. Due to the time of the year for our visit most things were closed. It was still very informative and well worth seeing. We plan to visit again in the summer months to see what the difference is.
Just minutes from down town and a beautiful drive is Cape Spear. It has great views and on a good day more whales then you can count. I've seen everything from Humpbacks and Blue Whales to Killer Whales and Dauphins. Well worth the admission price, free.
This is a great tourist stop. So nice for a westerner to have a picture of themselves at the most easterly point in Canada. We were on a bus tour, and we were told that the lighthouse was not open, and that we did not have time to walk up there. However, just being able to walk out and see the shoreline, and have your picture taken with the sign was great.
We went on a Sunday as during the summer, you can have supper in the lighthouse on Sunday only. You have to call and book a spot as it only holds 24 people. Major restautants host the dinner. Well worth it.
If you are going to NL you must go to Cape Spear. The view is absolutely breath taking. I felt so privileged to be here and see the amazingly beautiful views. We found it so very relaxing and took lots of great pictures. It certainly reminded me that Canada has so much to offer and see.
