Red Bay blends centuries-old maritime history with expansive coastal living along Labrador’s Route 510. The community’s centerpiece is the Red Bay Basque Whaling Station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; explore the exhibits and boat-to-shore stories at the Red Bay National Historic Site, then wander to Saddle Island and the Boney Shore to see archaeology come alive. Beyond the exhibits, the Strait of Belle Isle delivers iceberg spotting, seabird life, and quiet coves for paddling and photography—plus long summer evenings that beg for beach fires and skywatching. For trip planning and seasonal highlights, the official Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism guide to Red Bay is invaluable.
Families appreciate education options through K–12 programming at Labrador Straits Academy in L'Anse-au-Loup. Healthcare services are close by at the Labrador South Health Centre in Forteau. Everyday essentials, outfitters, and trades are available along Route 510 in nearby communities such as Mary's Harbour and Port Hope Simpson, while day trips to the restored island community of Battle Harbour add a dose of living history.
Whether you’re seeking a year-round home base or a second-home retreat with serious heritage credentials, Red Bay rewards with authenticity, welcoming neighbors, and unspoiled coastline.
