The busiest beach on the peninsula, with washrooms, showers, and a community cookhouse. Late June brings caplin rolls and icebergs drifting through Bonavista Bay. Peak season is July and August.
A 2km stretch of pristine sand with both oceanside and freshwater swimming at Crooked Tree Park. Multiple provincial Tidy Towns award winner. One of Newfoundland's best beaches.
The peninsula borders one of Canada's most beautiful national parks, offering hiking, kayaking, camping, and wildlife viewing. Boreal forest meets the sea along a wild, uncrowded coastline.
Late June through July, millions of caplin roll onto the beaches—a natural spectacle that draws locals and visitors. Whales follow the caplin inshore; icebergs drift through the bay in season.
One of Newfoundland's most compelling spots for seasonal or year-round waterfront property. Homes and lots with direct beach access across seven communities. Prices haven't caught up to the scenery yet.
Strong demand for summer cottages and seasonal rentals. The festival calendar, beach season, and national park proximity create consistent summer traffic and a growing shoulder season.
Holy Cross School serves the peninsula (K-12), and the Family Resource Centre supports young families. Safe, quiet communities where kids grow up on the water with access to modern amenities via nearby Gander.
Seven distinct communities—Eastport, Happy Adventure, Salvage, Sandy Cove, Burnside, Sandringham, St. Chad's—each with its own coastal character. Festival Capital energy meets small-town peace.
