Leave your footprints on these five pristine beaches in Central Newfoundland
By Newfoundland & Labrador
With over 29,000 kilometres of undisturbed, rugged coastline stretching around this place, one would expect to find rocky beaches on the island of Newfoundland. But this hauntingly beautiful shoreline has some surprises in store for you – five sandy, secluded beaches tucked into sheltered coves, overlooking the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The main Eastport beach is centrally located in the town of Eastport. It offers a meandering boardwalk and convenient parking. The Northside beach is a secluded treasure with plenty of room to beachcomb and soak up the sun.
Not far from Eastport, Sandy Cove is nestled in a sheltered cove with sun-warmed waters for swimmers of all ages.
Lumsden can be found near Newtown, dubbed the ‘Venice of Newfoundland’, as it’s built on a series of tiny islands. Surf, sand, and sun happily meet here for all to enjoy.
200 years ago, these beaches were used to dry fish caught by local fishermen. Today, they lure sun and sand lovers, birdwatchers, and those in search of icebergs along the coast.
Perfect for a beachcombing stroll or a picnic in the sun, Sandy Cove Beach is part of a captivating and timeless historic community.
On a clear day, you can also see the famous French islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon off in the distance.
