Cape Shore

No need to choose between a drive consisting of coastal scenery or panoramic landscapes - tour the Cape Shore and experience world class views of both, making it the perfect place for a major gateway to the province. The Marine Atlantic automobile ferry runs three times weekly to Argentia from North Sydney. Visitors to this area can expect to find natural wonders such as the Bird Rock in the Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve - a towering rock formation covered by tens of thousands of northern gannet each breeding season, and preserved history in places such as the Castle Hill National Historic Site - a historical landmark located in Placentia.

Placentia Area Historical Society
Placentia Area Historical Society
Since its inception, one of the central objectives of the PAHS has been to promote the study, knowledge and preservation of the history of the Placentia Area. They are successful in this mission through several avenues, namely the O'Reilly House Museum.
Built in 1902, The O'Reilly House is a balustrade Queen Anne Victorian style structure and has been restored to its original state of grandeur. Originally called Brefery House, this structure was constructed by J.W. Ellis for the William O'Reilly family. It showcases royal relics, period artifacts, and exhibits. A Basque headstone and copy of the oldest original civil document from Canada can be viewed at the museum.

Town of Placentia
Town of Placentia
There are many unique threads that make up the fabric of Placentia. We are the ancestors of explorers, fishermen and settlers who discovered a place rich in opportunity and ideally situated to make the most of it. We are Basque, we are French, we are English and we are even a little Portuguese. You see their legacy in fortifications like Castle Hill, a National Historic Site.
