South Coast

The towns in this region are Paradise River, Cartwright, Black Tickle, Norman Bay, Charlottetown, Pinsent's Arm, William's Harbour, Port Hope Simpson, St. Lewis, Mary's Harbour and Lodge Bay.

Situated approximately 14 kilometers south of Mary's Harbour, is Battle Harbour, one of the oldest settlements on the Labrador coast. It was once known as the Capital of Labrador.

The first hospital in Labrador was built in Battle Harbour, by Sir Wilfred Grenfell. The original buildings of this small fishing community are now restored as a historical site.

The south coast of Labrador is known for its recreation events such as Mary's Harbour hosting its annual summer Crab Festival and Port Hope Simpson's annual winter Snowblast. These activities take place, bringing together groups of local people to celebrate our culture and traditions.

The only transportation for this area is airplane, boat in summer and in winter, many people in this area of Labrador travel to surrounding towns by snowmobile.
