Paddling near St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador


St. John's sits on the Avalon Peninsula, a rugged Atlantic coastline where sea kayaking is the dominant paddling pursuit. The area is known for coastal exploration — sea caves, bird colonies, and iceberg sightings along the shore — while inland ponds and rivers provide calmer flatwater options for canoeists and SUP paddlers closer to the city.
