Visit our many attractions and see the vitality of the region. With a population base of 3,100 people and a regional population of 25,000, St. Anthony is the hub of the Great Northern Peninsula.

Visit natures wonders, the rugged ocean coastline, witness the majestic of the whales and icebergs, and the rich history which we offer. "Let Your Spirit Sail".

The northern tip of Newfoundland is the most accessible region to view such a high number of icebergs.

Starting in late spring - often lasting until mid-summer, massive sized icebergs are common sightings along our coast - which sometimes float right into our harbors.

90% of an iceberg's mass is below water. Icebergs can often weigh in excess of several million tonnes. The tallest iceberg ever was 550 feet high.
