New World Island


New World Island

New World Island is roughly 90 kilometres northeast of Gander, or 60 kilometres north of Lewisporte. It's actually the island before you get to Twillingate Island.

There are 18 communities on New World Island, ranging in size from 1200 people (Summerford) to about 100 people.

Most communities are in the 200 - 400 people range.   In addition to communities on New World Island itself, there is also the community of Boyd's Cove.  This community is famous for the Beothuck site and Interpretation Centre.

Some of our chief attractions are whales and icebergs. We also have a first rate provincial park - Dildo Run Park - on the island. This park can handle tents, campers and RV's. Try it out!

New World Island is also great for cross country skiers, who in the past two or three years have enjoyed lot of snow.
