Main Topsail Info, Newfoundland and Labrador

The place where land, water and sky embrace like old friends. And the edge of North America holds an adventure as big as the sky. Exploring Newfoundland and Labrador brings you closer to your true self. This is a big place with a lot to see and do, so take your time. Discover the common thread. You'll find it hiking the rugged coast while whales frolic in the ocean at your feet, dancing jigs and reels, eating food with funny-sounding names, gazing at a glacier-carved fjord, and in the orange silence of the autumn forest as you listen for moose.

This logging community (Pop. 500) was once the site of the long abandoned gold mines. While the mineshafts are not safe for exploration you may view an abandoned shaft from the roadside. The sheltered harbor is a good place to launch a boat to go cod jigging, squid jigging or fishing for sea trout at the mouth of the Main River, just down the shore. Fish Corner Brook stream for trout or grilse. Hike to the top of the huge mountain behind the community for a panoramic view of the harbor or take a stroll along the beach at Giles Cove.
