Twillingate
A Brief History
t
he area around Twillingate has been
continually inhabited for about 3,500
years. The earliest known in habitants were the
Maritime Archaic people. Major finds of Maritime
Archaic artifacts occurred in 1967 in Back Harbour,
Twillingate where over 75 items were recovered from
the site including projectile points, adzes and crystals.

.
In most recent times the Maritime Archaic people were
supplanted in Twillingate by the Dorset Eskimos.
The French fishermen were likely the first Europeans
to sight the Twillingate Islands as early as the 1500’s.
They didn‘t settle in the area but gave Twillingate its
name, which is derived from the ‘word Toulinquet.
With Twillingate’s good harbour and closeness to the
rich fishing grounds it grew steadily over the next 100
years and became one of Newfoundland’s greatest
fishing ports.

& Exhibits.
Still, Twillingate’s story remains a positive one. Since
the 1970’s, the community has been linked to the
mainland of Newfoundland by a modern causeway
and the Road To The Isles.
Although the fishery is in decline, Twillingate has
become one of the premier tourist attractions. Some
of the old buildings, like St. Peter’s Church, still remain
and the Twillingate and Durrell museums as well as
the Prime Berth continue to preserve history.
But, perhaps the greatest attraction is the town’s
natural beauty. Hundreds of people come each year
to see the breath-taking sunsets, magnificent icebergs
and the playful antics of pods of humpback whales
and during their stay are treated to local hospitality
and entertainment.

History of
Harbour Lights Inn
t
he Harbour Lights Inn is a quaint, idyllic Bed &
Breakfast located in the heart of the beautiful
island town of Twillingate. The Harbour Lights Inn is
a traditional house that was built during the 1800’s for the
British customs collector Andrew James Pearce.
The house was elegantly restored and converted into the
warm hospitality of an historic inn with ambiance and
modern amenities for the enjoyment of its welcomed
guests.
As you relax at Harbour Lights Inn, you can watch the
fishing trawlers coming and going while the seagulls
perform a ceremonial display of their urban rituals. The
Harbour Lights Inn is equipped with a spacious sitting
room, nine modern rooms and wireless internet a home
away from home. Here, making you feel comfortable and at
home is our priority.
