The other island you can reach without a boat — joined to the main island by causeway, and the best-known place in the province to see a berg from land.

One of the New World Islands, joined to the main island by causeway, so you drive the whole way. It is the best-known place in Newfoundland to see an iceberg from dry land, and the coast road out is most of the pleasure of going.

An hour and twenty-five each way, measured — so it is a day, not an afternoon. Take the whole day and it is one of the best ones you will have here.

Bergs are a May and June business here, not April: in April they are usually locked in pack ice and the boats cannot get out. Twillingate runs its iceberg festival the second weekend of May.
