From the Publisher
A fascinating history, a vibrant contemporary culture, the
friendliest people, and an untamed wild. Newfoundland &
Labrador is an incredible vacation destination, boasting two UNESCO
World Heritage Sites; the only authentic Viking settlement in North
America; the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coastline; and the
historic city of St. John''s, offering shopping, amazing seafood,
and lively nightlife. Along Newfoundland & Labrador''s
10,000-mile coastline, humpback whales migrate northwards while
10,000-year-old icebergs drift south. Newfoundland is also home to
some of the world''s most accessible seabird colonies, with more
than 35 million gathering each year. Outdoor adventurers can walk
or hike the beautiful East Coast Trail, stopping at Cape Spear, the
easternmost point in North America. And for culture mavens, music
and art festivals abound.
Frommer''s Newfoundland & Labrador covers each of
the province''s regions in detail, offering more information than
any other major guide. It provides readers with all they need to
plan an unforgettable vacation, from the best place to eat Jigg''s
Dinner (and information on exactly what that is) and catch some
lively traditional music, to the best whale- and puffin-watching
tours and perfect camping sites.
