Rocky Harbour’s claim to fame lies in its proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Gros Morne National Park, with its towering tablelands and ancient fjords. This charming fishing village stands near Bonne Bay at the western end of Newfoundland. It is the most popular base for travelers headed to Gros Morne. The national park has fascinated geologists for decades with its rock formations that offer a unique insight into the movements of tectonic plates. The rugged table mountains overlook extensive beaches, alpine forests, crystal clear glacial lakes and craggy cliffs. A perfect landscape for long walks, hikes and backcountry camping, the national park offers outdoor lovers a wealth of activities.
