Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve

Newfoundland and Labrador

About this location

A sea stack at the southwestern tip of the Avalon Peninsula, occupied by sixty thousand gannets, murres, and kittiwakes between May and August — one of the most accessible seabird colonies in North America. You can walk to within metres of the nesting birds. The cliff edge drops to the North Atlantic. The fog comes and goes. For those who loved the ocean in its most elemental form — cold, loud, indifferent — Cape St. Mary's is the place.

Passage
