Twillingate Island & New World Island

Pastel houses, the rock-ribbed coast, the steel-grey ocean, a breaching whale, a turquoise iceberg: all in a day's sightseeing here at the top of the Central Coast. Twillingate (comprised of two barely separated islands, North and South Twillingate) is one of Newfoundland's most popular tourism towns, and with good reason. The area is connected to 'mainland' Newfoundland by narrow causeways, and between local trails, endless views and friendly locals, it's a tough place to tear yourself away from.
