Cartwright, Labrador delivers big-shoulder Atlantic scenery and a close-knit pace of life on the sheltered waters of Sandwich Bay. Residents spend weekends boating among islands, scanning for whales and seabirds, and launching wilderness trips toward the breathtaking Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve, protected by Parks Canada. The town’s own calendar is full of community events and land-based traditions; learn more about services, recreation, and local governance through the Town of Cartwright.
Families appreciate practical amenities. Local K–12 education is provided at Henry Gordon Academy, part of the provincial school system, while primary care is available at the Cartwright Community Clinic under NL Health Services in the Labrador-Grenfell zone. Getting around is straightforward: the Trans-Labrador Highway spur links you to larger hubs like Happy Valley-Goose Bay, and seasonal travel up and down the coast is supported by the provincial Labrador Coastal Service. For trip ideas and year-round inspiration, the provincial tourism site highlights itineraries, outfitting, and wildlife viewing unique to this stretch of coast.
Daily life leans outdoors—salmon runs on nearby rivers, northern lights in winter, and icebergs drifting past in spring—yet essentials, friendly neighbors, and a proud NunatuKavut heritage are always within reach through the NunatuKavut Community Council. Weekend getaways to communities such as Mary’s Harbour add even more to explore.
