Arriving by ferry from France

Driving from Fortune

The boat from Saint-Pierre et Miquelon lands at Fortune, on the Burin Peninsula, about forty-two kilometres across the water. It is an international crossing: passports, and the rules for bringing a car are the operator's and the border's to state.

En bref, en français

Le traversier de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon arrive à Fortune, sur la péninsule de Burin. C'est un passage international : passeport, et pour la voiture, les règles de l'exploitant et de la frontière. Les durées ci-dessous sont mesurées sur la route depuis le terminal de Fortune.

Le planificateur : « Plan a round trip from Fortune » pour l'aller-retour sur le même bateau, « Across the island » pour repartir d'un autre aéroport ou traversier. Pour dormir sur la péninsule, choisissez une ville de départ : Grand Bank ou Marystown. Chaque journée est un aller-retour en voiture depuis cette ville. Le site ne nomme aucun hébergement.
