About the Port
Set on the Great Northern Peninsula at Newfoundland's northern tip, St. Anthony is a small coastal town shaped by a maritime heritage of fishing, seafaring, and early medical mission work. It served as the base for the Grenfell Mission, established in the early twentieth century to bring health care to isolated communities along this stretch of coast. The surrounding waters, part of what locals call Iceberg Alley, carry drifting icebergs south each year and draw whales close to shore, making the region a favored spot for sightings of both.
Beyond the harbor, the landscape opens into a wilderness of lake-dotted mountains, forested valleys, and windswept cliffs. The town itself is compact and walkable from the pier, with local seafood among the region's simple pleasures. Nearby sites tied to Norse exploration and Newfoundland's early settlers add historical depth to a visit centered on nature's raw, northern beauty.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in St Anthony.
Visit L'Anse aux Meadows
Explore the reconstructed sod-roofed longhouses at this UNESCO site marking the only confirmed Norse settlement in North America, about a 45-minute drive from the pier.
Scan the Coast for Icebergs and Whales
Join a small-boat tour along Iceberg Alley for close-up views of drifting ice giants and humpback or minke whales feeding just offshore; book ahead as sailings depend on conditions.
Tour the Grenfell Historic Properties
Walk through the Grenfell House Museum and interpretation center to learn how Dr. Wilfred Grenfell's mission brought medicine, schools, and hope to isolated coastal communities.
