Bonavista Peninsula Attractions 
The best-known peninsula in Newfoundland is Bonavista, where John Cabot is thought to have sighted the "New World" for the first time in 1497.
One of the most impressive pieces of scenery on this peninsula so rich in forests and waterways and with its rugged coastline is to be found by turning off Road 230 onto the 235. The beautiful smaller places should also not be missed; these include Plate Cove and King's Cove, one of the oldest settlements here and founded by fishermen from Bonavista in the middle of the 18th c.
