You arrive by ferry — Saint-Pierre, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to Fortune
The boat from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon lands at Fortune, on the Burin Peninsula. It is an international crossing: passports, and the rules for bringing a car, are the operator's and the border's to state. SPM Ferries publishes sailings and fares.

A 1943 Douglas DC-3 that served in North Africa in the war and later flew freight between Stephenville and Goose Bay until 1988; Air Labrador's owner donated it to the town in 1993 as the Spirit of Harbour Grace, for the town's part in early transatlantic flight (explorenewfoundlandandlabrador.com). The airfield is a separate site in the same town: the province's tourism listing says locals built that strip in 1927, transatlantic flight attempts used it between the wars, and Amelia Earhart left from it on her successful solo crossing in 1932.
Stopping here adds 0.2 km to the drive.
