Sea Kayak Newfoundland’s Ghost Coast

For adventurous sea kayakers, Newfoundland is Canada’s last frontier. Rugged headlands, sea stacks, impossibly steep granite fjords and perfect cobblestone campsites are the norm on the Southwest Coast. From the small end-of-the-road community of Burgeo, we paddle 90 kilometres of North Atlantic coastline east to the boat access-only outport of Francois. Along the way on this weeklong trip we’ll camp amid the austere remains of abandoned fishing communities and enjoy afternoon hikes in the barren “tuckamore” terrain. For advanced sea kayakers only; minimal outfitting provided.
