North Labrador Attractions
North Labrador is a largely remote area.
To get from Goose Bay to Nain it is best to take the ferry that sails along the coast once a week between late June and late November. Anyone wanting to travel further north will have to charter a boat or plane, always allowing for the harshness of the terrain and the changes in the weather.

Hebron, Canada
Hebron, the northernmost of the Moravian Brethren's Labrador missions, is on the remote shore of Kangershutsoak Bay. Established in 1829, it was abandoned in 1959 but the buildings remain, having been declared a national monument in 1970.
Hopedale, Canada
In 1782 the British Government allowed the Moravian Brethren to set up a mission station in Labrador. This little complex known as Hopedale is made up of a church, a grocery store, the minister's house, stores and little homes of the local Inuit.
Nain, Canada
Founded in 1771 by a group of Moravian Brethren, Nain's population are Inuit, who live either from welfare or by the traditional ways of taking shellfish and salmon, and hunting caribou. The interesting little Nain School Museum illustrates the life of the Inuit and the Moravian Brethren, with kayaks and other items from northern Labrador, as well as telling the story of the Moravian mission.
