The Irish Loop is named after the area's dominant ancestry. But you'll find more than just Irish culture. From whales, trails, seabirds, fossils, and more, the Irish Loop is the perfect road trip to start from St. John's.
Here are some of our favourite stops along the way:
1. Witless Bay & Bay Bulls
After leaving St. John's, head to Witless Bay, Bay Bulls, or Mobile to catch a whale and bird watching tour.
2. The East Coast Trail
The Irish Loop has some of our most scenic hikes. Historically, people used coastal trails to travel between communities -- that's why we have the East Coast Trail. Ranging from easy to strenuous, every trail comes with a stunning view.
3. Calvert & Ferryland
On your way to Ferryland, stop into Calvert for a traditional kitchen party at Sullivan’s Songhouse. When in Ferryland, one of the oldest European settlements in North America, check out the Colony of Avalon, a 17th century archaeological dig site, before heading to the Ferryland lighthouse for a coastal picnic.
4. Mistaken Point
Next, check out the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Mistaken Point to view rare fossils from 575 million years ago, that show the oldest-known fossils of complex multicellular life on the planet.
5. St. Vincent’s Beach
Want to lounge on a beach while majestic humpback whales feed 20 feet away? Stop into St. Vincent’s Beach on your journey through the Irish Loop.
