Attractions

Burnt Cape Tours

Featuring bus tours of Burnt Cape Ecological Reserve. Tours begin in our very own beautiful village of Raleigh, Newfoundland. Surrounded on three sides by cold waters from the Strait of Belle Isle, Burnt Cape has some of the most arctic conditions in Newfoundland. But it is exactly this cold climate, along with a unique landscape & calcium-rich soil, that allows northern plant species to grow here in a rich and rare variety.

Historic Community of Raleigh

Burnt Cape Cabins is located within a community which will surely capture your heart. In spite of it’s size, the town of Raleigh has a rich history which dates back to the eighteenth century. The existing stages and wharves serve as reminders that Raleigh was once the busiest fishing port on the Northern Peninsula, and its people have evolved from a rich ancestry and unique culture.

Hiking & Walking

Set against a backdrop of natural wonder, there's something about this area that nurtures your mind, body, and soul. Depending on the season, you'll find seabirds, whales, freshly carved icebergs, and possibly glimpse a fisherman plying his trade. Hiking and walking in Newfoundland and Labrador – an ancient land that's relatively unpopulated – is both diverse and breathtaking.
