Bud’s Home: Harcourt, Newfoundland

Our blog is a little Whiteway-centric I admit, but we love promoting all things Newfoundland. So when resident photographer/friend/genius Bud Vincent sent me these pictures of his hometown with a description to match, I knew I had to share. Bud also loves promoting all things, what he lovingly calls, ‘beyond the overpass.’ And now, if you notice on our Things to Do page, we’ve added a link to service that lets you figure out driving distances and times between Newfoundland communities – maybe a trip to Harcourt is in your future!

Bud’s thoughts on Harcourt: “From time to time, a number of people have asked: “Where do you live”?..Many folks have never heard of the place..Yes, we are located on the map….We live in Harcourt, TB.  It is located 22kms from Clarenville, TB.  Just opposite Random Island and sitting on the shores of beautiful Smith Sound.

It is Not a big town, as a matter of fact there are about 70 odd families living here..No street lights, one general store and no gas station…Yes, “in da slow lane”…But, does that bother us..Not in the least….we love it…..”

Looks simply stunning – I can’t wait to visit!
