Port au Choix
Port Saunders is best known within Newfoundland and Labrador for its harbour on the Strait of Belle Isle. The small community stands on the Great Northern Peninsula, where the strait separates Newfoundland from Labrador. Route 430, the Viking Trail, runs through the area, linking settlements along the peninsula and providing the main road connection north toward St. Anthony. Port Saunders retains the practical character of a coastal service community, with low forested terrain and open roadside approaches rather than an urban streetscape. Its wider district also includes Port au Choix National Historic Site, an archaeological landscape documenting thousands of years of Indigenous occupation.

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.

Among Canada’s regions, Newfoundland and Labrador stands apart for its far-reaching North Atlantic coastline and the meeting of the island of Newfoundland with mainland Labrador. The province faces the Labrador Sea to the northeast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence along its western and southern reaches; its terrain ranges from exposed shores and barrens to forests, lakes and the Labrador Plateau. Gros Morne National Park, on Newfoundland’s west coast, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for geology that exposes deep sections of Earth’s crust. Inuit, Innu and Mi’kmaq communities are integral to the province’s living cultures, alongside outport traditions shaped by the cod fishery.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
