Welcome to Witless Bay, a stunning coastal town that's your gateway to the incredible Witless Bay Ecological Reserve. Just a short boat ride away, you'll find yourself surrounded by millions of seabirds, including the largest Atlantic Puffin colony in North America. Keep your eyes peeled for humpback and minke whales that frequent these waters, especially during the summer months. For those who prefer to stay on land, you can soak in the ocean views by strolling along the shoreline trails that are part of the scenic East Coast Trail.
