Twillingate is the last stop on the "Road to the Isles", and is one of the most picturesque communities in Newfoundland. The islands of Twillingate include two municipalities;

1 - the Town of Crow Head and

2 - the Town of Twillingate.

On this island you will find an abundance of friendly hospitality, scenic views, and arts and crafts. There are several museums including the world famous Twillingate Museum which houses the story of Georgina Stirling, the opera singer who was famous during the 1800's. Also another - Durrell Museum, houses a mounted Polar Bear (find out about the story and why it is on display when you arrive, - children will love it too) . Award winning Prime Berth Fishing Museum includes an excellent display of the origins of the ' cod splitting ' originally done by Twillingate's ancestral fisher persons.

There is lots to do in Twillingate, so plan your trip accordingly. You can take a boat tour to view icebergs and whales, take in a theatrical performance from one of our many talented drama groups or enjoy some local traditional music while snacking on tea and toutons. Kids will never be bored with the endless beaches to explore and beautiful hiking trails to climb.

We welcome everyone to Twillingate and we hope that this site will help you to plan your trip with ease so that you may enjoy every experience the islands have to offer.
