💡 Tips

Visit in late spring (May to June) for spectacular iceberg viewing right from the community's shoreline.
The local beach has a mix of sand and rocks; sturdy walking shoes are better than flip-flops.
Bring binoculars to scan Green Bay for breaching whales during the summer months.
Grocery options are limited locally, so it's wise to buy supplies in the larger town of Springdale before arriving.

Beachside is an easy on the eye settlement on the Springdale Peninsula in Newfoundland. The community is known for its panoramic Atlantic oceanfront location and gives visitors a well-suited blend of relaxation and nature experiences.
