Historic towns and a modern hub.
A chat down by the stage. Coastal walks and hilltop hikes. A lighthouse on the edge.
Marystown, the region’s largest town and commercial centre,
has attracted shipbuilders for more than 400 years. Check
out the Marystown viewpark and piece together the area’s rich
shipbuilding heritage. Interested in hearing more? Be sure
to visit the Marystown Heritage Museum. Next, wind your
way south on Route 221 and explore the thirteen coves and
settlements that make up the present day community of
Burin. Climb to the top of Captain Cook’s Lookout, or
Man O War Hill and drink in the panoramic view. Park the
car and enjoy a stroll along Burin’s quiet streets. Learn a
little local history with a visit to Reddy House, or the historic
bank building across the way.
