For centuries, life in St John's has focused on the harbour. In its heyday it was crammed with ships from a score of nations, today its population is about 200,000+. St John's centre of gravity has begun to move west, the waterfront remains the social centre, home of lively bars that feature the pick of Newfoundland folk music. The grand basilica, and the Newfoundland Museum, which provides an excellent introduction to the history of the island and its people. Elsewhere, Signal Hill National Historic Site, overlooking The Narrows, has great views back over the city and out across the Atlantic, while the drive out to the rugged shoreline of Cape Spear, the continent's most easterly point, makes for a pleasant excursion, as does the trip to the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. St John's Newfoundland has many opportunities for sport tournaments. |
