St. Anthony, town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
St. Anthony is a small town at the western tip of Newfoundland, known for its quiet fishing harbors and rocky coastlines. It sits directly on the water, with buildings and facilities centered around maritime work and the harbor.
The town grew from a fishing settlement where families have lived from the sea for generations. The Fox Point Lighthouse, built in 1906, shows how important this coast has been for shipping and trade.
The name comes from a saint and reflects the Irish and European roots that shaped generations of families here. The harbor area shows this maritime connection today through working boats, fishing equipment, and how the water remains central to daily life.
Visitors will find marked trails along the coast with spots to view the water and passing icebergs. Some paths have wooden walkways that are accessible for wheelchairs, and it is wise to bring warm clothing since the weather can change quickly.
In summer, icebergs from Greenland drift slowly along the Labrador current, and many reach this coast where they can be photographed or viewed by drone from above. These icebergs are especially pure and clear, making them a remarkable natural sight.
