Stay at Bird Island Overlook, where heritage and adventure meet. Puffins nest nearby from May–Sept; icebergs crown the coast in spring; autumn fills the land with blueberries; and winter offers quiet reflection. The Klondike Trail begins at your doorstep, winding through forest and ridge to Spiller’s Cove. Minutes away are Elliston’s Sealers Memorial, 130+ root cellars, The Dungeon, Bonavista Lighthouse, and the John Cabot monument—marking the start of Newfoundland’s famed Discovery Trail.

What the Area is Like Small, close‑knit community — about 300 people live here year‑round, so you’ll feel peace and quiet. In summer the population increases with visitors. Beautiful coastal scenery everywhere: rugged cliffs, ocean views, seabirds, including puffins, and relaxing views of the water. Rich local heritage & culture — Elliston is the Root Cellar Capital of the World with over 130 of them, its fishing history, and its maritime roots. There are walking/hiking trails nearby, including coastal walks, scenic loops, puffin viewing sites, and beach areas like Sandy Cove. The famous Roots Rants & Roars food festival is based in Elliston, held the third weekend of September.
