More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start at the harbour, the wind off the North Atlantic pushing against your jacket as a bright row of houses—Jellybean Row—frames the water. An old film clip narrates the city’s gusty past in your ear, then the app falls silent until the next GPS-triggered moment. This bundle stitches together St. John’s streets, the high lookout of Signal Hill, and the coastal sweep of the Irish Loop into a single, self-paced day of discovery.
