About Clarenville, NL

Clarenville sits right on the Trans-Canada Highway, about 190 km from St. John's, making it a natural stopover for anyone crossing the island or heading out to the Bonavista Peninsula via Route 230. Local runs to Glovertown (89 km) and Gambo (110 km) are easy day trips, while longer hauls toward the Avalon, like Bay Roberts or Holyrood, usually mean visitors passing through rather than locals commuting. As the main service town for the region, Clarenville has gas, hotels, and EV charging along the highway. One cool local landmark: the SS Kyle, a 1913 steamship, has been beached in the harbour since 1967 and is still visible from town.
