Fishing Point Municipal Park
Fishing Point Park
A headland park at the end of St. Anthony harbour, where 476 steps climb to the clifftop and you can watch icebergs and whales from shore.
Fishing Point Park occupies the headland at the entrance to St. Anthony harbour, home to a red-and-white lighthouse and several cliff trails. The most popular route climbs the 476 wooden steps to the top of Fishing Point, overlooking the Atlantic and the harbour. During iceberg season you can often see drifting icebergs from here, and in summer you may spot whales spouting. Short loop trails such as the Whale Watchers Trail and the Reckless Trail each take about 1–1.5 hours in total. There is a restaurant and a souvenir shop at the foot of the hill. The park is about 3 km from the town centre and is free to enter. The wind is strong on the cliff edge, so do not climb over the railings.
