There is nothing more beautiful then a sunset over-looking the water. Newfoundland Labrador has some of the most spectacular locations for taking sunset photo.
Where to Catch These Spectacular Sunsets in Newfoundland
My favorite spots are, from The Trailway in Conception Bay South and Topsail Bluff
Quick Planning Tips for Sunset Watchers
- Set out about 30 minutes before sunset—the skies light up before and after the sun dips below the horizon.
- Check the weather first; clear or partly cloudy skies make for stunning, colorful displays.
- Bring what you need: camera, warm layers (especially near water), and perhaps a blanket or thermos if you’re staying awhile.
- Explore trails and lookouts—places like Topsail Bluff and Summit Drive offer easy access and gorgeous views just steps from the car.
