Newfoundland's Ultimate Summer Roadtrip: The Irish Loop

Experience the best of Newfoundland in one route. The Irish Loop delivers everything this island is famous for: spot humpbacks right from the beach, thousands of seabirds swirling overhead, dramatic coastline hikes, and iconic lighthouses.

July is when this loop truly comes alive — every time I was near the ocean on this 3-day loop roadtrip, I'd look for whales, and they would be there (not kidding!). Seals resting, birds nesting, + the weather is at its most forgiving (though still unpredictable, Newfoundland style).

This guide will take you through the must-see spots, and practical tips to make your Irish Loop journey seamless. Chasing whales, hiking coastal trails, or simply soaking in the wild beauty? This is Newfoundland at its best.
