Witless Bay Newfoundland.
We spent half a day in Witless Bay, NL.
We started the morning with breakfast at Irish Loop Coffee house. The food was great, and the bread pudding was tremendous.
We quickly explored the coast and trail starting at whale watch beach, before we went out on the water to find some whales with Ecotours Zodiac Adventures.
To our surprise, there was a baby beluga near the dock when we left.
Our guide was great and the coast line even better. We quickly found two humpback whales (a mother and calf) slowly moving out of Witless Bay.
We then went to Gull Island one of the islands apart of the Witless Bay Islands Park Reserve. The number of birds was surreal. From Puffins to Eagles, I have never been around so many birds at one time.
Once back on land we hiked Mickeleens Path, which we highly recommend. The coastline and views were spectacular. Make sure you don't get too close to the edge, as it's a long (rocky) way down.
We definitely recommend checking out Witless Bay for a half-day trip if you are staying in St. John's.
