On the way to…

  1. Baccalieu Coastal Drive →

    A National Historic Site of an unusual kind: hundreds of rock walls farmers built to keep roaming animals off their fields, dating back to 1790, per the province's tourism site. It sits at the peninsula's northwest tip.

    Stopping here adds about 30 km to that drive (239 km start to finish).
