Worth stopping for

Grand Bank

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Fortune →

    The banking-schooner capital, minutes before Fortune — the town the Grand Banks fishery built, with widow's-walk merchant houses that look more Lunenburg than Newfoundland. Its heritage is the salt-bank fleet's story, kept by the town that sailed it.

    Stopping here adds about 1 min and 0.5 km to that drive (5h 28m 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.

The map last touched this element on 2020-10-05 — 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.
