Eastern Canada, Here we Come – L’Anse-au-Clair, Labrador -2025- Part 7

This is our last stop for 3 nights before we catch the ferry to Newfoundland. For info, the word Labrador comes from a Portuguese explorer named Joao Fernandes “Lavrador”. (Labrador meaning landowner or farmer) He explored this region around 1500 eventually naming the land Labrador, as well as giving the name Labrador to a popular dog breed.

We are now a 6 km drive from where we are in Labrador to Blanc Sablon, Quebec where we will catch our ferry.

We stayed at Northern Lights campground (campground is a term I would use loosely in this instance) located in L’Anse au Clair, (population around 220). We did drive to another campground and also to a Municipal campground. These aren’t campgrounds like what one would think are campgrounds but they will do !

We did a lot of driving and touring around while here it did rain a lot and it was chilly. We went to Vieux-Fort and Riviere Saint Paul one afternoon. Here some photos of those areas.

Almost done in Labrador! Next post we drive to another Basque Whaling site in Middle Bay……….
