General presentation
Twillingate
Islands connected by roads, renowned for their icebergs, cliffs and fishing heritage.

See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked 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.
Culture and heritage
Long Point Lighthouse
The Long Point lighthouse dominates Crow Head and Notre Dame Bay from a coast of cliffs and exposed rocks. In clear weather, the look takes a long way to the islands and seasonal icebergs; by fog, the red and white tower becomes an almost soundy landmark in the wind.
Culture and heritage
Twillingate Museum
The Twillingate Museum occupies a former heritage building and gathers domestic objects, fishing tools, photos and souvenirs related to the islands Twillingate. The visit gives a human thickness to the landscape: families of sailors, island life, schools, shops and long winters behind the images of the icebergs.
Place indismissible
Twillingate
Twillingate is one of the great ports of Iceberg Alley, with its houses hanging from the coves, its docks and its roads running towards the capes. In the spring and early summer, icebergs and whales attract eyes; the rest of the time, the village retains a harsh beauty of the north coast.
Place indismissible
Crow Head
Crow Head marks the advanced tip of Twillingate, where the roads stop almost opposite Notre Dame Bay. Between Long Point Lighthouse, low cliffs and coastal trails, the place gives a clear feel of the world's edge, with the ocean as the only horizon when an iceberg drifts offshore.
