The Story of Twillingate

Where icebergs drift, communities thrive, and the North Atlantic spirit runs deep. Set along a rugged island coastline, Twillingate has welcomed travellers for more than 300 years. European fishing families first settled in its sheltered coves, shaping a community built on the rhythms of the sea.

Traditions of boatbuilding, storytelling, music, and craftsmanship still anchor daily life. As you explore, brightly painted stages, historic churches, and well-kept heritage homes keep the town’s proud maritime past vividly alive.

A Place Where Nature, Culture and Creativity Steal the Show

Twillingate’s coast is pure spectacle with towering cliffs, quiet coves, sweeping ocean views, and trails that hug the headlands. From May to July, ancient icebergs drift past, followed by humpbacks, minkes, and playful dolphins. Whether hiking the Rockcut Trail, exploring the coastline with a local boat tour, or watching the sunset blaze across the sky, visitors say Twillingate feels alive with adventure. This small town also bursts with creative energy; kitchen parties, theatre, galleries, craft shops, and lively festivals. Signature events like the Fish, Fun & Folk Festival and the Unscripted Arts

Festival celebrate music, food, heritage, and innovation, supported by artists, makerspaces and outdoor works that honour the land.

A Taste of Coastal Life

Food is central to the Twillingate experience. Seafood dishes prepared from cod, mussels, lobster, crab, and scallops inspire menus across our town. Wild berries, local brews, traditional dishes, and modern coastal flavours offer a true taste of Newfoundland hospitality.

Come for the Icebergs—Stay for the Magic Twillingate is a place you don’t just see, it is a place you feel. Crisp salted air, friendly waves, and a blend of adventure and calm define island life. Whether you seek outdoor adventure, rich heritage, artistic inspiration, or a quiet escape, Twillingate is not just a destination but it is a story still being written, and you’re invited to be part of it.

Had a wonderful supper here. May be a cliche but the French fries were amazing. Mussels were great. Service friendly and personal.
