Where's the best place to see and photograph puffin birds?

Hello Regina, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask an Islander. Atlantic Puffins do not breed in Prince Edward Island and there have only been a few very rare sightings here.

Newfoundland is the most common place to find these beautiful birds in Atlantic Canada. 

Take care,

Valerie

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
