## Description

Mistaken Point is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Newfoundland and Labrador’s rugged Atlantic coast, offering visitors an opportunity to explore one of the world’s most significant fossil locations. Its ancient marine fossils, preserved in stone for more than 565 million years, include over 10,000 examples of Ediacaran life and provide a remarkable glimpse into early complex organisms.

The site invites visitors to discover its geological and natural history through professional guided tours. Access to the fossil area is limited to these tours to help protect the fossils, and local guides share insights into the discoveries and the surrounding region. Visitors can also explore the Mistaken Point Interpretation Centre and Gift Shop, walk nearby trails, and learn about local nature, history, and landmarks such as Cape Race National Historic Site and the Cape Race Lighthouse.

Mistaken Point supports trip planning with suggested day trips and multi-day itineraries, accommodation information, and guidance on getting there. Located near Portugal Cove South, it is reached via the scenic Irish Loop.
