On the south shore of the island, in the quaint village of Victoria-by-the-Sea, you can munch on handmade chocolates, dine on lobster drawn fresh from the sea, buy an enchanted candle, see a play, have afternoon tea, watch Newfoundland dogs meander up and down Main Street, and visit a lighthouse. |
