A Little About Twillingate and Area

Iceberg Capital of the World

Known as the Iceberg Capital of the world, Twillingate is a prime spot for viewing giant icebergs between May and July each year. Daily  boat tours will make this a close encounter and a photographer’s delight.

Island Connected by Bridges

Twillingate is an island off the coast of Newfoundland off the coast of Canada. Today it is connected to Newfoundland by a series of bridges and causeways, creating one of the province’s most scenic routes. The town is about 100 kilometers north of Lewisporte and Gander.

Ancient Beothuk Roots

Archeological discoveries confirm that Twillingate and the region were home to the now extinct native Beothuk nation and relics can be viewed  at the Twillingate Museum, the Beothuk Interpretation Centre and, if you know what to look for, along the beaches and coastline that was once home to the ancestors of Shawnadithit and Mary March.

From Cod Community to Tourism Town

This town of about 2,500 people once thrived on the cod fishery. Since the cod moratorium in 1992 tourism has become one of the main industries of Twillingate’s economy.
