Foggy, flat and barren Cape Race juts into the Atlantic Ocean. With its dramatic cliffs and famous lighthouse (which received the distress call from the Titanic!) it’s a sight to behold all on its own.
Birders will love the unique birding opportunities it offers: 209 species have been seen here including Great Shearwater, Common Eider, Thick-billed Murre, Dovekie and Common Murre. A rare bird called a Corn Crake has also been spotted here as recently as late 2020.
In general, July is the best time to go birding in this area, as you will get the chance to see large numbers of nesting seabirds like Northern Gannet, Black-legged Kittiwake and Atlantic Puffin.
