On the way to…
OpenStreetMap records a viewpoint here, unnamed, just off the Southern Shore Highway south of Witless Bay. Route 10 is what the province calls the Irish Loop Drive, and the communities it strings together are the ones nearest the islands of Witless Bay Ecological Reserve: the province says those islands hold North America's largest Atlantic Puffin colony and, after Baccalieu Island, the world's second-largest Leach's Storm-petrel colony. Landing takes a permit, so people watch the birds from licensed tour boats that leave from these communities.
Stopping here adds about 0.7 km to that drive (155 km start to finish).
