Random Passage Film Site
Random Passage Site
A TV set village in New Bonaventure, recreating a 19th-century Newfoundland pioneer fishing settlement with wooden cabins, fish flakes, and a church.
In 2002, for the Canadian TV series Random Passage, a village from the early 19th century was built on New Bonaventure Bay, about 15 km south of Trinity. After filming, it was kept and opened to visitors. Log cabins, fish flakes, a schoolhouse, and a small chapel are scattered along the shore, and guides in period costume tell the stories of early settlers struggling to survive on the harsh coast. The bay is unspoiled and peaceful, and a tea room on the site serves snacks. The season runs from June to September, with admission around C$15. The drive from Trinity takes about 20 minutes, with the last stretch on gravel road.
Opening hours
About June–September, 9:30 AM–5:30 PM
