Situated along the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, the town of Lewisporte is the first stop. A thriving community that maintains a unique sense of charm amongst a developing business district, Lewisporte attracts a large number of tourists each year looking for that small town feel with warm hospitality. The Coastal communities surrounding Lewisporte make up some of the most spectacular views this land has to offer. |  |

| From Change Islands visitors continue their journey into Fogo Island, the largest island off the coast of Newfoundland. The island consists of eleven communities each with their own flare and historical backdrop. Thousands of tourists travel to Fogo Island each year to experience all the island has to offer.

According to the Flat Earth Society, Brimstone Head, which is located in the community of Fogo, is one of the four corners of the world. From the Irish history in Tilting to the caribou herds found roaming throughout the island, Fogo Island has become a land of prestige that attracts visitors year after year. |  |
