Moreton's Harbour
A quiet old fishing village at the western tip of New World Island, with 19th-century merchant houses, a community museum, and great views from the headland trail.
Moreton's Harbour lies at the western tip of New World Island, about 25 km from Twillingate. In the 19th century it was a thriving fishing port, and many wooden houses once owned by wealthy merchants and ship captains still stand. The village has a community museum that shows village life, and the nearby Moreton's Harbour Headland Trail climbs to a promontory with views over the bay. Few tourists come here, which makes it ideal for a slow drive. It can be combined with Dildo Run Provincial Park.
