General presentation
Battle Harbour et côte sud du Labrador
Former fishing counter restored on an isolated island, connected to the small communities on the southern coast of Labrador.
The Battle Harbour and Labrador's southern coast are found around Battle Harbour, St. James Anglican Church and Mary's Harbour. The stay thus alternates between the island landscapes, the coastline and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Battle Harbour
Battle Harbour conserves the atmosphere of an isolated fishing station in Labrador, with wharves, wooden houses, warehouses and rocks beaten by the Atlantic. This is done by boat, which reinforces the feeling of a gap with the continent and gives weight to the stories of cod, merchants and coastal families.
Place indismissible
St. James Anglican Church
The St. James Anglican Church is part of the small heritage complex of Battle Harbour, where each building seems related to the harbour and fishing seasons. Its sober interior, woodwork and location recall the role of the church in a community long isolated by the sea.
Place indismissible
Mary's Harbour
Marys Harbour serves as a gateway to Battle Harbour and the southern coast of Labrador, with a port facing the islands and the local crossings. The village offers a first approach to the coast: fishing boats, scattered houses, low horizon and departures to more isolated places.
