Round Harbour is a small community located on the Baie Verte Peninsula 11 km off route 414, settled in the mid 1800's. It was always a fishing settlement with a population from about 50 - 150, but as a result of the shutdown of the fishery today only 6 people are still living in Round Harbour.
On our way in we saw this iceberg in a neighboring bay.
This was our first view of the town itself
Like many of the small bays here the side hills are quite steep making building difficult
There is still fishing done here
As the church was open we visited it. Surprisingly, with only 6 or 7 part time resident families, it seems to be in use. This is a magnificent old building with amazing woodworking.
