Our next port in Canada was the tiny fishing village of Red Bay in the province of Labrador.  Named for the red granite prevalent in the area, it is the most northeastern point in North America. With a population of 142, the number of cruise ship passengers far exceeded the number of residents.

We saw very few people and a handful of vehicles. Between 1530 and the 17th century, it was a major whaling area. The whale stations in Red Bay were eventually abandoned. In 2021, the local school was closed due to no enrollment.

It was a beautiful, chilly day with temperatures in the 60’s and a 15 mph wind. The 15 minute tender boat ride was smooth going over but very rocky returning.

We walked around, soaking in the gorgeous views.

We found a couple geocaches and visited the local church.
