The town of Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador is an awesome place. Located at the tip of the Bonavista peninsula, it is a community that depended on the fishery for centuries, and after the cod moratorium of 1992, it was absolutely devastated.
It took a long time, but today Bonavista is thriving. It is a town that found a way forward and can act as a model for other outport Newfoundland towns. Small business are popping up everywhere. Young people are moving into town. It is a center-piece of the Newfoundland tourism plan.
Stops in the nearby towns of Elliston, Port Union, Port Rexton, and Trinity make the trek up the peninsula an amazing experience, and each one of these communities seems to have found their new life. The image of fishermen around the bay facing impossible times is slowly but surely being replaced by signs of hope.
People come to Newfoundland for the rich history, the rugged landscape and rocky shores. The warm hearted hospitality of the outport people, and of course the best fish n chips in the world. Puffins, whales, and ice bergs might be around too, depending on what times of year you come. All of these experiences can be found on the Bonavista peninsula, and the people who live there are making sure that this is not a secret. What is happening in Bonavista is incredible.
