What will I see around Bonavista?
Celebrated as the place of John Cabot's landfall in 1497, Bonavista is a community with a rich history. Built on the fishery and on its mercantile past, the town has one of the largest collections of heritage buildings in the province. Bonavista today is still a very busy place with an active fishing industry.
