With over 29,000 kilometres of twisting coastline, laden with submerged rocks, hidden inlets, and monolithic icebergs, it's little wonder that Newfoundland and Labrador has several hundred navigational lights clinging to its craggy shores. Cape Spear is near St. Johns

City advice
Getting around
Book a rental early to roam the rest of NL.
Off road parking is available at the property. Try the national parks or the quaint outer towns.
Travelling with kids
Family friendly
NL is very family friendly and welcoming. From the variety of foods (sorry, no TACO BELL), to shops and entertainment (wall climbing, indoor slides, laser tag) ... It will be fun to discover by yourself.
What to pack
Changeable weather
This is probably the worst place to be a meteorologist. Predicting the weather is very difficult. I would pack based on a layered set of clothing. It could be wet, windy, and cool in the morning, and then nice and sunny in the PM. The closer you go to the Atlantic the cooler it will be. Inland will be warmer. But we do have beaches and streams nearby where people swim and sun in the summer, and golf courses.
