Battle Harbour National Historic District

Battle Harbour used to be the salt cod capital of the world and the unofficial capital of Labrador. Now, it is a living museum for people from across the world to visit a 19th-century fishing village on a small island in the Labrador Sea.

You can stay in a few restored cottages which were once homes. Come get a taste of a town that was bustling with fishermen and merchants from 1770 until 1992.

Learning to Fish for Cod

If you want to experience the truest version of Battle Harbour and its salt cod fishing industry, a fishing excursion is a way to go.

It starts with a short boat ride to get out to the best fishing spots then you will get to fish for hours. It is recommended that you go in August to get the best chance of catching fish. You may even get to see whales or dolphins!

After a day of fishing, you will get to take your catch back and learn how to filet it. You can enjoy a fresh meal at the local restaurant!
