Random Harbour


Built as a movie set, this charming little harbour was used to depict life in Newfoundland when its settlers first arrived from Ireland.  The movie speaks of the hardships of the first year,  setting up your homestead, preparing for, and  surviving the first brutal winter.  The set is now open to the public and provides a fascinating look back in time as well as interesting photo opportunities.

Fishing



At the end of every road in Newfoundland there is something interesting to see, and most of these roads eventually lead to the ocean.  Fishing is a way of life and it comes in all sizes from the large commercial fisheries in the larger cities to the small family business all along the coastline of this great province.
