Clarenville - Newfoundland and Labrador

Clarenville's been known as "The Hub of the East Coast" since the 1950s.
The town got its start at the turn of the last century, from five coves in the very bottom of Northwest Arm, Trinity Bay.

As the major terminus for the Bonavista Peninsula and all rail traffic west, Clarenville quickly became the region's primary centre. Today, Clarenville is a multi-faceted community with an exhaustive range of things to do and see, a provincial centre for recreation and information technology, and the ideal place to start exploring the historical Discovery Trail.

Located in the beautiful Shoal Harbour River Valley, Clarenville is subject to prevailing southwest winds, bringing drier weather and considerably more sunshine and temperate conditions than the rest of the island.

Clarenville is only 100 km / 62 mi from the legendary town of Bonavista, and within a short drive of the region's major attractions. The town is home to 4,500 people, and another 32,000 depend on Clarenville for services.
