Terra Nova

Terra Nova National Park, established in 1957, protects 400 square kilometres of coastal Newfoundland's distinctive landscape where boreal forest meets the sea. Located on the island's east coast along Bonavista Bay, the park preserves a landscape of deeply indented fjords, forested hills, coastal barrens, wetlands, and sheltered marine waters. As Newfoundland and Labrador's first national park and one of Canada's Atlantic national parks, Terra Nova showcases the unique character of the island's east coast, combining maritime heritage with wilderness experiences.
