| "The place where land, water and sky embrace like old friends. And the edge of North America holds an adventure as big as the sky."
Newfoundland and Labrador is the place where the New World begins. Feel the power of the Atlantic as it meets North America for the first time. It happens right here at Cape Spear. Where Newfoundland's oldest surviving lighthouse has stood for 16 decades. Where the wind warms your soul and where you're closer to Ireland's Cape Clear than Ontario's Thunder Bay.
Visit St. John's and take a walk on Water Street, the oldest street in North America. Look out over a naturally-sheltered harbour, where 40 vessels lay anchored 40 years before the Mayflower landed. Raise a glass in a place that boasted over 80 pubs before the Americans began their battle for independence. Now that's history. |
Less than an hour's drive East of Gander International Airport or three hours West of North America's oldest city, St. John's, The Road to the Beaches leads directly to Laurel Cottage. A splendid location, just 15 minutes off the TCH and overlooking sheltered Eastport Bay, this is the ideal place for you during your Newfoundland vacation experience. Memories are made here. Nothing can compare with THE VIEW! In the morning, as the sun rises from behind the rolling hills enveloping the Bay, they provide a most fitting backdrop; at sunset the historic fishing community of Salvage appears cast in gold. But to watch the moon rise over those same hills and cast its silvery glow over Eastport Bay is the sort of thing you'd expect to see only on a movie screen! |
