Town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonavista (2021 population: 3,190[1]) is a town on the Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Unlike many Newfoundland coastal settlements, Bonavista was built on an open plain, not in a steep cove, and thus had room to expand to its current area of 31.5 km2 (12.2 sq mi).[1] Bonavista is located approximately 300 km by road from the provincial capital of St. John's.
