15:03
Stop at Swyer's for a snack. It is Bonavista's last remaining general store and the perfect spot to grab supplies before heading out.
15:48
Walk to The Dungeon Provincial Park. Arrive early to secure a good spot. This small park features an oceanside sinkhole where waves pass through two openings in a gigantic archway. It is a frequent stop for tour buses, but if you arrive before the rush, you will likely have the place to yourself.
16:33
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting light on the archway and the churning water. Stay for the golden light that begins just before the sun dips below the horizon.
17:18
Take a quiet walk around the park as the light fades. The area is free and open 24/7, allowing you to linger in the cool evening air.
Local tip
The park is a frequent stop for tour buses. To avoid crowds, arrive at least 45 minutes before sunset.
