GETTING HERE BY LAND:
La Scie is located on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland. It is off the beaten path so you can experience the charm of an outport fishing town, free from smog and heavy traffic. It is a small town so everything is within walking distance.
Take routes 410-414 from the Baie Verte Junction on the TCH.
Keep on driving...We're at the end of the road.

GETTING HERE BY FERRY:
Marine Atlantic Ferry Services provides 2 points of entry to the island. From North Sydney in Nova Scotia you can choose to travel to Argentia which requires 16 hours of sea time. You then have a 7 hour drive to get to La Scie. Alternatively you may choose to take the 7 hour ferry ride from North Sydney to Port aux Basques. You will have a 4.5 hour drive to La Scie.
Many travellers choose to enter the island at one port and leave from the other. This offers the opportunity to explore much of the island on their travels to and from La Scie.
​
Once on the island at either Port aux Basques or Deer Lake you travel east to Baie Verte Junction. If you enter the province at St. John's, Gander or Argentia you follow the Trans Canada westward to Baie Verte Junction. From there you take Route 410 north for 50km to Baie Verte and turn east on Route 414 to La Scie, a further distance of 52km.
​
If you happen to be traveling by private yacht or sailboat, docking facilities are available. The local Harbour Authority reserves 2 docking berths for travellers that are touring Newfoundland by sea.
Another less travelled route to and from Newfoundland is via the ferry that connects the island to Labrador. The Trans Labrador Highway will take you through a few scattered towns and a great deal of wilderness area to Fermont, Quebec. From there the highway will take you to Baie Comeau, Quebec on the North shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. From there you have access to the rest of Canada.
