Ferryland, Historical coastal town in Avalon Peninsula, Canada.
Located on the eastern coast of Newfoundland, Ferryland extends along rocky shores with views of passing icebergs and migrating whales.
George Calvert established the Colony of Avalon in 1621, making Ferryland one of the earliest permanent European settlements in northeastern North America.
The town maintains strong Irish heritage through traditional music, folk festivals, and local accents passed down through generations of settlers.
The archaeological site Colony of Avalon remains open for visitors to observe excavations of 17th-century structures and artifacts throughout summer months.
The Ferryland Lighthouse, constructed in 1870, serves gourmet picnics featuring local ingredients while offering views of the Atlantic Ocean.
