Twillingate
Iceberg Alley delivers its giants past cliff paths, lighthouses and harbour villages.
A berg the scale of an apartment block holds the horizon beyond Long Point light. In the coves, boats work as the ice drifts by.
Twillingate strings fishing villages along headlands positioned for the spring parade of Greenland ice. Cliff walks, boat tours and the lighthouse give the season its viewpoints, while a local winery ferments wild island berries with iceberg water. Out of berg season the coast keeps its whales, stages and storm light.
Couple
Cliff paths, berg light and berry wine make an easy two-day coastal pairing.
Family
Boat tours put children level with the ice safely while the lighthouse anchors the day.
Solo
The berg-season coast works alone: walk Long Point and join a small-boat sailing.
