This photo gallery captures an unforgettable day exploring Cape Spear National Historic Site in Newfoundland and Labrador, home to the easternmost point in Canada.

Follow the boardwalks and stairways that wind across dramatic coastal cliffs to the famous marker where thousands gather to stand at the very edge of the continent. Explore the beautifully restored 1836 Cape Spear Lighthouse, Newfoundland's oldest surviving lighthouse, before comparing it with the modern lighthouse that continues to guide ships safely through one of Canada's most legendary stretches of coastline. Along the way, discover sweeping ocean vistas, crashing waves, historic buildings, dramatic rocky shorelines, and breathtaking views that prove Cape Spear is spectacular in every season—not just on sunny days.
