Adorable coastal towns and villages

Bonavista, Newfoundland and Labrador
Newfoundland’s many craggy peninsulas make for plenty of beautiful small towns that are surrounded by spectacular ocean views. Legend has it that when Italian explorer John Cabot landed in the area in 1487, he exclaimed “O Buon Vista”, giving the eventual town its name and he wasn’t wrong, with the town and its nearby lighthouse offering views of icebergs and humpback whales. Cabot’s influence still lingers too – there’s a replica of his ship in Bonavista Harbour.
