Twillingate is a town of about 2,121 people on the Twillingate Islands in Notre Dame Bay, off the north-east coast of Newfoundland, Canada, about 100 km north of Lewisporte and Gander and about 1 km from its centre in a straight line. It is one of the oldest ports on the island. Once a fishing community, it now relies on tourism after the collapse of the cod fishery. The earliest known people in the area lived here about 3,500 years ago, and a causeway road links the island to the mainland. Colourful wooden houses cluster around a sheltered harbour between green rocky hills, with fishing boats moored inside, and headlands such as French Head look out over the open sea. In late spring and early summer huge white icebergs drift close to the coast. The town is famous for its iceberg season, which usually peaks in May and June; you can see them from shore or on boat tours, and whales pass close in summer. The weather changes fast, so bring warm clothes.
