Worth stopping for

Elliston Puffin Viewing Point

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Cape Bonavista →

    The mapped viewpoint facing the Elliston puffin colony — land-viewing distance in season, which is the colony's own calendar and not this page's promise. The spur adds real minutes; most berg-and-bird days spend them gladly.

    Stopping here adds about 15 min and 9.1 km to that drive (3h 45m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.

What the map knows

Mapped as viewpoint in OpenStreetMap.

While you're stopped here: John C. Crosbie Sealers Interpretation Centre (1.7 km away) · The root cellars at Elliston (1.8 km away) · Dungeon Provincial Park (6.4 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2024-08-27 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.

Where this pin comes from: OpenStreetMap node/472665472 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
