Port Saunders blends small-town ease with ocean-going energy, thanks to its sheltered harbour, working waterfront, and quick access to the Strait of Belle Isle. Residents spend long evenings walking the shoreline, launching kayaks, and watching whales and icebergs drift by in season. Families appreciate quiet streets, local recreation programming, and a calendar of community events that makes it easy to put down roots. Day-to-day essentials are close at hand, with bigger-box options and regional services within a comfortable drive along the Great Northern Peninsula.
Education and care are well covered. French Shore Academy serves K–12 learners through the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, while primary care and long-term services are available at the Rufus Guinchard Health Centre via NL Health Services. For trades and post‑secondary upgrading, the College of the North Atlantic’s campus in St. Anthony keeps opportunities nearby, backed by programs from College of the North Atlantic.
Weekends invite exploration. History comes alive at Port au Choix National Historic Site in Port au Choix, while salmon leap at the river in Hawke's Bay. Further afield, the deep fjords and world‑class trails of Gros Morne National Park make an unforgettable day trip, and Norse history awaits at L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. Whether you’re moving for work, a seaside retirement, or a fresh start for the family, the community’s pace and scenery make it easy to feel at home.
