Tucked into a sheltered inlet on the edge of St. John’s, Quidi Vidi Harbour is a small fishing village known for its narrow wharf, colourful stages, and steep hills rising around the water. Early morning is the best time to visit, when the light is soft and the harbour is quiet before crowds arrive. Space is limited, so parking fills quickly in peak season, and parts of the village often become pedestrian-only on summer weekends. A short stroll along the wharf gives you classic views of boats, saltbox houses, and the rugged coastal character that defines the area.
