About Bonavista, NL

Bonavista sits out at the end of the Bonavista Peninsula, reached mainly via Route 230, also known as the Discovery Trail, which branches off the Trans-Canada near Clarenville, about 114 km away. Locals often make the quick 20 km run to Trinity Bay North, while visitors coming from Gander (247 km) or St. John's (305 km) should expect a proper day trip. Charge up your EV before Clarenville, as stations get scarce further out. The town's still a working fishing harbour, and its 1843 lighthouse marks the spot where Cabot is said to have first sighted land in 1497.
