Port au Choix

Port au Choix has served as a seasonal fishing harbour on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula since the French fishery of the 16th century. Set on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the community occupies a low limestone coast near the Strait of Belle Isle. Port au Choix National Historic Site preserves evidence of Indigenous occupation over thousands of years, including Maritime Archaic, Groswater and Dorset sites, making this one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s key archaeological areas. Fishing remains central to local life, while the open coastal setting gives the town a distinctly northern Newfoundland character.
