Nine things to do in Newfoundland

Known as The Rock because of its rocky landscape and spectacular soaring cliffs, Newfoundland and Labrador truly live up to its nickname.

If you are looking for an outdoorsy type of vacation, you will very much enjoy a trip here.

Whale watching, iceberg spotting and fishing rank high on most people's list of things, but there are many more:

1. Take a hike on the East Coast Trail

St. John's is the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador, and boasts the beautiful East Coast Trail, on the east side of the Avalon Peninsula.

The East Coast Trail provides ample opportunities for hiking, whale-watching and bird-watching from one of the many vantage points along the trail.

2. See the lighthouses

One of the most popular lighthouses in the country is Cape Race, near Chance Cove Provincial Park. This lighthouse was the first one to receive the first distress signals from the Titanic.

The second lighthouse worth seeing in Newfoundland is Cape Spear Lighthouse, which is the oldest in Newfoundland and Labrador. This lighthouse can be easily reached by car from St John's (within 20 minutes drive).

3. Join a festival
